President-elect Donald Trump has issued a new ultimatum warning that he will commit acts amounting to "war crimes" if Tehran does not open the strategic Straits of Hormuz by Friday morning at 12 p.m., citing desperation in his administration's strategy for maximum pressure against Iran and its allies. While CNN reports this aggressive stance, Israeli officials have distanced themselves from Trump’s specific proposal regarding a potential strike on Iranian oil infrastructure to prevent such escalation into full-scale war crimes under international law.
