Middle East Crisis Iran War

Trump Gives Iran 48 Hours to Open Hormuz – Otherwise, the Country’s Power Plants Will Be “Destroyed”

Donald Trump Gives Iran a Precise Deadline for When the Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz Must End.

“If Iran Does Not Fully, Without Threat, Open the Strait of Hormuz Within 48 Hours of This Precise Time, the United States Will Strike and Destroy Their Various Power Plants, Starting with the Largest,” the President Wrote on Truth Social at 12:44 AM Tonight.

Bloomberg Describes It as a Dramatic Escalation in Trump’s Rhetoric. The Threat Comes Just a Day After He Said the United States Was Considering a Scale-Down in the Middle East.

The Response Came Shortly After. If Fuel and Energy Infrastructure is Attacked, Iran Will Respond with Attacks on US-Connected Infrastructure in the Region, the Iranian Army Says.

Iran: If the US Attacks, We Will Strike Their Infrastructure

Iran is threatening to strike key infrastructure in the Middle East if the US attacks the country's energy sector, after Donald Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz. This was stated by Iran's military leadership in a statement to the Tasnim news agency, according to Bloomberg.

"If Iran's fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, all energy, IT and desalination infrastructure belonging to the US and the regime in the region will be targeted."

The move marks a sharp escalation. Trump has also said that he can strike Iranian power plants, which risks further escalating the conflict in the region.


Sources: Trump has six demands for peace with Iran

The Trump administration has begun planning for the next phase of the Iran war and what peace talks with Iran could look like, sources told Axios.

Yesterday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he is considering scaling back the war because the US is “very close” to achieving its goals. An American source told Axios that the US has now “restrained Iran’s growth” and believes the Iranians are willing to come to the negotiating table.

The administration is said to have drawn up six demands for Iran.

The six alleged demands

1. No missile program for five years.

2. No uranium enrichment.

3. Shut down the nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow that the US and Israel bombed last year.

4. Strict external controls on centrifuges and other equipment that could be used in a nuclear weapons program.

5. Disarmament agreements with other countries in the region that include a missile limit of 1,000.

6. No funding for proxy groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in Gaza.
