Trump issues final Iran ultimatum

Trump issues final Iran ultimatum

President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric against Iran, warning that the entire country could be 'taken out in one night' if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

The administration has set a final deadline for Tuesday at 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time, threatening to target power plants and bridges.

While mediators from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey have circulated a 45-day ceasefire proposal, Iranian officials have dismissed the terms as 'unrealistic' and 'illogical.' The standoff comes as global energy prices continue to swing wildly amid persistent uncertainty over the escalating conflict.
