Trump gives Iran 48 hours to reopen Hormuz, warning of power-plant strikes
President Trump set a 48-hour deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying the U.S. will obliterate Iran’s power plants if the strait remains closed. Iran says it will retaliate against US-linked energy sites in the Gulf region. The Hormuz chokepoint is crucial for global oil, and the situation has contributed to rising oil prices amid wider regional conflict.
