President Trump Issues Ultimatum to Iran Over Strait of Hormuz Blockade
President Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday. In a social media post filled with expletives, Trump threatened to target Iran's power plants and bridges if the strait remains closed. This ultimatum comes amid the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran, which has now entered its sixth week. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for global oil and gas shipments, and its blockade has led to a surge in oil prices, with U.S. crude reaching over $114 per barrel. The situation escalated further when Iran downed a U.S. fighter jet, although the missing crew member has been rescued. Trump is expected to address the nation in a news conference scheduled for Monday.
