U.S.: Threatens to Destroy Iranian Power Plants if Straits
President Donald Trump has issued a final ultimatum, demanding that Iran reopen the strategic straits within 48 hours or face severe retaliation against its energy infrastructure. He explicitly threatened not only military strikes but also "destroying" and even aniquilating Iranian power plants if Tehran fails to comply with this deadline by Thursday morning at noon UTC-3 (01:59 GMT). This aggressive stance marks the most recent escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions, as Trump warns that failing to resolve the crisis will lead directly to attacks on critical electrical facilities across Iran.
