US President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Iran, stating that American forces may strike the country's critical civilian infrastructure if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping. In a post on Truth Social, Trump specified that the potential strike would occur on 'Tuesday at 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time,' a highly unusual move in military strategy. This warning comes amid escalating tensions as Iranian missile strikes have targeted cities and facilities across the Gulf region, significantly impacting global oil trade. Iranian parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf criticized Trump's threats, suggesting they are influenced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and could lead to wider regional conflict. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have attempted to downplay the threats, with daily life continuing in Tehran despite the ongoing air war. The situation remains tense, with Iran also warning that attacks on its Bushehr nuclear plant could have dire regional consequences.
