Trump issues 48-hour Iran ultimatum

Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical flashpoint as President Donald Trump set a 48-hour deadline for Iran to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz.

The President's rhetoric has intensified, with threats to destroy essential infrastructure and claims that Iranian military leaders have already been 'terminated' in recent strikes.

Tehran has responded with defiance, dismissing the ultimatum and warning that the entire region will become 'hell' for the United States if escalation continues.

This diplomatic impasse occurs as both nations continue to engage in direct military exchanges and proxy attacks across the Gulf.
