Trump Issues 48-Hour Iran Ultimatum

The White House has signaled that 'all hell will reign down' if Tehran fails to meet the Monday deadline for reopening the vital oil shipping route.

Tensions have reached a fever pitch as the Trump administration considers targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, including power plants and refineries.

Iranian officials have dismissed the threats as 'unbalanced and stupid,' warning that any further escalation will turn the entire region into a conflict zone.

This diplomatic brinkmanship occurs as global energy markets react to the worsening supply shock and the threat of a wider regional war.
