Iran rejects Trump's 48-hour ultimatum

President Donald Trump has issued a stark 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, threatening that 'all hell will reign down' if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by Monday.

Iran's central military command has characterized the threat as a helpless and unbalanced action, maintaining their defiance as regional hostilities intensify.

The geopolitical crisis is further complicated by the ongoing search for a missing American airman whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down on Friday.

Military analysts warn that the situation represents the most significant political and military test for the Trump administration since the conflict began five weeks ago.
