Fuming Trump issues fiery ultimatum to Iran over Strait of Hormuz
NY Post
President Trump on Saturday issued a blistering ultimatum to Iran, warning that it has 48 hours to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face US strikes that would “obliterate” its vital energy infrastructure.
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” the president fumed on Truth Social.
Iran has effectively closed the crucial waterway — responsible for a fifth of the world’s oil exports — since Trump launched the joint US-Israeli attack on the country on Feb. 28.
The closure has sent global fuel prices soaring — with Brent crude remaining above $100 per barrel on Friday — up from around $70 a month ago.
Tehran has vowed to use the surging oil prices as a strategic point of pressure against the US and Israel.
Iran responded to Trump’s threat Sunday by saying any such attack would draw a strong response.
