Trump Issues Ultimatum to Iran, Threatening Energy Infrastructure

US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, demanding the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, threatening military action against Iranian energy production facilities. This threat prompted an immediate response from Tehran, which retaliated by threatening to target infrastructure in Israel and the US in the Middle East, including energy facilities, technology centers, information systems, and water desalination plants. The situation is escalating amid the 23rd day of the war that began with joint attacks by the US and Israel against Iran. Simultaneously, Israel announced that it had carried out attacks in Tehran, while also receiving missile attacks from Iran, resulting in dozens of injuries in two Israeli cities. The conflict has expanded to attacks on nuclear facilities, with Iran claiming to have retaliated for an Israeli strike.
