The Trump Ultimatum: 48 Hours to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Trump gave Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to navigation or face the destruction of its energy infrastructure, as Tehran launched its most destructive attack to date on Israel. The ultimatum, issued just a day after the US president declared that he planned to “end” military operations after three weeks of war, came as the main oil passage effectively remained closed and thousands of other US Marines were heading to the Middle East. Trump wrote on Truth Social that the United States would ”strike and destroy“ the Iranian power plants, ”starting with the largest first", if Tehran did not fully reopen the strait within 48 hours, or 23:44 GMT on Monday depending on the time of his post. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said Tehran had imposed restrictions only on ships from countries involved in attacks on Iran and would help others who remained out of the conflict. In response to Trump's threat, the Iranian military said it would target energy and desalination infrastructure “belonging to the United States and the regime in the region,” according to the Fars news agency. Trump's ultimatum came hours after two Iranian missiles struck southern Israel, injuring more than 100 people in the most destructive attack since the war began. Netanyahu, promised to fight back “on all fronts”. The strikes, which passed through Israel's missile defense systems, tore the facades of residential buildings and dug craters in the ground. First responders said 84 people were injured in the city of Arad, 10 of them seriously. A few hours earlier, 33 people had been injured in the nearby town of Dimona, where AFPTV images showed a large hole dug in the ground next to piles of rubble and twisted metal. Dimona hosts a facility widely considered to be the site of the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, although Israel has never admitted to possessing nuclear weapons. The Israeli military told Agence France-Presse that there had been a "direct missile strike on a building" in Dimona, with casualties reported at several sites, including a 10-year-old boy in serious condition with shrapnel. Netanyahu promised to continue hitting Iran. A few hours later, the Israeli military said that its forces had launched a wave of strikes on Tehran. #trump#stopthefire#hormuz#japan#iran#tehran#attack 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
