Trump issues apocalyptic Iran ultimatum

Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical flashpoint as President Donald Trump set a hard deadline for Iran to end its maritime blockade.

In a series of incendiary social media posts, the President warned of 'hellish' strikes against civilian infrastructure, specifically targeting energy facilities and transit networks.

This aggressive posture comes as mediators from Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey scramble to present a 45-day ceasefire proposal to avert total war.

Meanwhile, global energy markets remain volatile, with oil prices surging past $110 per barrel as the vital shipping lane remains effectively closed.
