As the new deadline of 8 PM Eastern Time approaches, tensions escalate between the United States and Iran. President Donald Trump has threatened to attack Iran's infrastructure if it does not comply with demands regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's potential responses could include a global economic assault, targeting critical maritime routes and infrastructure, which could lead to a spike in oil prices exceeding $200 per barrel. Additionally, Iran may strike desalination plants in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, causing severe water shortages. Cyber warfare poses another significant threat, with Iranian units potentially targeting U.S. power grids and healthcare systems.
