Trump: If Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the US will destroy its power plants
US President Trump posted on the social media platform "Truth Social" that if Iran does not fully open the Strait of Hormuz without threats within 48 hours, the US will strike and destroy its power plants, starting with the largest one.
Trump wrote, "If Iran does not fully open the Strait of Hormuz without threats from this moment for 48 hours, the US will strike and destroy its power plants, starting with the largest one!"
On February 28, the US and Israel launched multiple attacks on targets inside Iran, including an attack on Tehran, causing destruction and civilian casualties. In response, Iran carried out retaliatory missile strikes against Israeli territory and US military targets in the Middle East.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for Persian Gulf countries to supply oil and liquefied gas to the international market. The escalation of the situation in the Middle East has led to the de facto blockade of the strait, also affecting the level of oil production and exports of regional countries.
