US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, threatening devastating consequences if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping traffic. Shortly after midnight, Trump posted a message on the Truth Social network, stating that the United States would obliterate Iran’s energy infrastructure within 48 hours should the waterway not be fully opened. The President specifically outlined a targeted attack, indicating that the initial focus would be on Iran’s substantial power plants.
“We will start with the largest one,” Trump declared on the Truth Social network. He emphasized the urgency, demanding complete access to the strait within the stipulated timeframe. Prior to this declaration, Trump had expressed a desire to de-escalate the situation, considering a gradual cessation of military operations.
However, he immediately followed this sentiment with a firm ultimatum. “Iran wants to negotiate a settlement; I do not,” he asserted. The threat underscores the critical importance of the strait, a vital artery for global oil shipments, and highlights the potential for escalated conflict if the waterway remains restricted.
The President’s message reiterated the US intention to destroy Iranian power plants if the situation regarding the hormuz strait is not resolved within 48 hours.
