If Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the US military will destroy its power plants, US President Donald Trump said.
"If Iran does not fully open, without threats, the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this very moment in time, the United States will strike and destroy their various power plants, starting with the largest one," he wrote on Truth Social.
The operation of the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic has been going on since February 28. All this time the parties are exchanging blows. In Tel Aviv, they called their goal to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Washington threatened to destroy the country's military potential and called on citizens to overthrow the regime. Iran, on the other hand, stressed that it was ready to defend itself and so far sees no point in resuming negotiations.
Due to the conflict, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has practically stopped. For this reason, Brent crude oil prices rose above $ 119 per barrel for the first time since June 2022, showing an increase of 29-31 percent.
