Trump issues Iran ultimatum

President Donald Trump has escalated regional tensions by setting a Tuesday deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face massive strikes on its critical infrastructure.

The ultimatum, delivered via social media and interviews, specifically targets Iranian power plants and bridges in what critics describe as potential war crimes.

Iranian officials have dismissed the threats as delusional, asserting that the vital waterway will remain closed to American and Israeli interests.

Mediators from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are reportedly circulating a 45-day ceasefire proposal to avert a total regional collapse.
