Trump gives Iran 48-hour ultimatum to reopen Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on power plants

President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran on Saturday, warning the U.S. would strike its power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.

"If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The president's threat represents a notable escalation in rhetoric as tensions surge over the strategically vital waterway.

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a global choke point for oil and gas transport that supplies roughly one-fifth of the world’s crude oil, has been largely limited since early March, shortly after the war with Iran began.
Trump's post comes after he told reporters Friday that reopening the strait was a "simple military maneuver."

"It's relatively safe, but you need a lot of help in the sense of you need ships, you need volume," he said.

He is a clown. Just yesterday he was saying the US doesn't need the strait opened. The day before he said that the strait was already opened. If he tries touching any Iranian power station, I fully expect Iran to target more refineries in the middle east.
Trump will not back down until oil climbs above 160 dpb.

The most powerful weapon in the hands of a toddler is useless. The US actually had a plan to contain Iran long before Trump came into office. His generals sat him down and tried to explain to him why a full on direct attack wouldn't be ideal. Trump sacked them and appointed yes men in their place. Men who will agree with every brain dead idea that comes to his head.

Trump lacks the mental maturity to know that for every action there is a consequence. He has backed himself into a corner in Iran now and is desperate for a way out. The Iranians don't fear threats. Trump has given himself 48 hours. Let him go ahead and strike Iranian electricity plants and see what the Iranians will strike in return.

The number terrorist country in the world whose military portends to be a superpower, but it alone cannot open the straits of Hormuz, and has instead resorted to various threats against both allies and other countries to help it open the straits. US soldiers are now in hiding in various hotels across the gulf countries and their military bases abandoned. All these years we never knew Iran is a low key military power. This war has taught the world so many lessons

Iran’s allies who are helpless to support them in the ongoing war with Israel and the US:
~ Strategic state partners: Russia, China, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela
~ Regional militia allies: Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Iraqi militias
~ Friendly or cooperating states: Iraq, Qatar, Turkey, Armenia
~ Nairaland 30k crew (Lol)

Iran should expect nothing less than tribulation following its recent missile strikes on Israel.We all were witnesses to what 1,200 lives taken in the wake of Hamas invasion resulted to.Currently, according to news report,Iran has imposed passage fee of $2m on friendly countries which ply through the Strait Hormuz.There is no let-up or truce in sight as regards the ongoing war.

Strike their power plants and they will strike the Gulf's desalination plants where more than 90% of the Gulf states gets their drinking water from. Also Iran has about 500 power plants while the entire Israel has only around 15. US and Israel can go ahead and strike Iran's power plant so that we can check something.

Foolish man. You hit their power plant and the whole middle East goes into darkness because Iran will retaliate. The world should learn never to allow entertainers rule. A wise man once said, if you miss your train station, get off on the next one, because the further you keep going, the longer it will take you to get home. Oga Trump it's time to get off. Even if you don't have sense, borrow some.
