Trump's ultimatum expires in a few hours, Iran does not yield. Mojtaba Khamenei: the assassinations will not stop us.

American President Donald Trump announced that a new round of attacks against Iran will begin on Tuesday at 8:00 PM, Washington time, warning that every bridge and power plant in the country will be "decimated." Trump emphasized that Iran must reach an "acceptable" agreement to avoid these attacks, which would include "the free flow of oil" through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran has rejected a temporary ceasefire and issued a list of demands considered "maximalist" by American officials, putting Trump in a delicate position.

Trump is on the brink of a political crisis, as Iran has proven to be a tougher adversary than he had anticipated at the beginning of the conflict, which he claims aims to prevent the country from building nuclear weapons and developing missiles to launch them.

Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a transport route for about one-fifth of the world's oil and natural gas supply, which has proven to be a strong bargaining chip for Tehran, being reluctant to concede it.
