US President Donald Trump has threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz – the chokepoint that carries around a fifth of the world’s oil supply – for shipping traffic. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, set a 48-hour deadline for Tehran to “fully reopen” the Hormuz from the “exact point in time”.
He posted the Truth at 5:14 am (IST), giving Tehran time till Tuesday morning.
Responding to Trump’s ultimatum, the Iranian military threatened to target all energy, technology, and desalination infrastructure belonging to the US in the region.
“Following previous warnings, if Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is violated by the enemy, all energy, information technology, and desalination infrastructure belonging to the US and the regime in the region will be targeted,” the Iranian military’s operational command Khatam Al-Anbiya said, reported news agency AFP.
