Trump Issues 48-Hour Ultimatum to Iran Over Hormuz

On a recent post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump issued a blistering 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, demanding the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that if Iran does not comply, the United States will strike and obliterate various power plants, emphasizing the strategic importance of this vital energy infrastructure.

Trump’s statement came after Iran announced that ships from the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, would be barred from passing through the waterway, while vessels flagged from China, India, Turkey, and Pakistan continue to trickle through this crucial corridor. Trump expressed his frustration over the situation, claiming that the U.S. would "blow Iran off the map" if necessary.

He criticized the current leadership and the New York Times for their coverage, labeling it as incompetent. The ultimatum reflects escalating tensions in the region as the U.S. prepares for potential military action if Iran does not adhere to the demands.
