Trump Issues 48-Hour Ultimatum

The escalating rhetoric from Washington demands that Iran immediately cease its blockade of the critical waterway or face devastating strikes on national infrastructure.

Iranian officials have already rejected the 48-hour deadline, calling the threat 'helpless' and warning of a regional conflagration.

Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency has urged nations not to hoard fuel as supply shocks begin to impact global logistics.

The standoff has sent oil prices surging, prompting major corporations to implement emergency fuel surcharges on shipping and travel.
