Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Iran, warning that if the country does not fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the United States will strike and destroy Iran's energy infrastructure.
The warning was made on his Truth Social network, in the context of a rapid escalation of the conflict in the region.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the situation is very difficult, after Iranian rocket attacks injured over 120 people in southern Israel. In this context, the head of the Israeli army stated that the war has reached 'halfway', and military operations will continue. Iran has also launched ballistic missiles towards the British base Diego Garcia, raising concerns among European military planners.
The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial energy route, and its blockage could have a significant impact on international markets. Trump's ultimatum marks a change in tone, considering that he had previously suggested a reduction in military operations.
