US President Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning of strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure.
Trump wrote on Truth Social: “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
In response to Trump’s threat, Iran’s army said it will target energy and desalination infrastructure “belonging to the US and the regime in the region,” according to the Fars news agency.
The warning follows Iran’s most severe missile attack yet on Israel, injuring over 100 people. The Israel prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, vowed to retaliate “on all fronts”.
The strikes, which slipped through Israel’s missile defence systems, tore open the facades of residential buildings and carved craters into the ground.
