Trump gives Iran ultimatum over Strait of Hormuz – POLITICO

U.S. President Donald Trump warned late Saturday that the United States will “obliterate” energy plants in Iran if the government in Tehran doesn't fully open the Strait of Hormuz, giving the country a 48-hour deadline to comply.

"If Iran doesn’t fully open, without threat, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first," Trump said in a post on Trust Social.

Tehran warned in reply that any strike on its energy facilities would prompt retaliatory attacks on U.S. and Israeli energy and infrastructure facilities.
