Trump's Ultimatum for the Strait of Hormuz - Iran Threatens Attacks on Energy Infrastructure

Developments in the Middle East are rapidly unfolding, with Iran threatening strikes on energy infrastructure and desalination plants in the event of an attack on its facilities by the United States. Donald Trump has given Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to destroy Iran's power generation facilities. Israel is counting the cost of Iranian attacks, with 100 injured, 11 of whom are in serious condition. The International Atomic Energy Agency is calling for restraint to avoid a nuclear accident. The situation remains tense and developments are rapid.
