Iran strikes near Israeli nuclear research center as Trump threatens attacks on Iranian power plants
President Donald Trump on Saturday says the U.S. will “obliterate” Iranian power plants if it doesn’t fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Trump issued the ultimatum in a social media post while he spent the weekend in Florida. He says he’s giving Iran exactly 48 hours to open the vital waterway or face a new round of attacks. He says the U.S. would destroy “various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump faces increasing pressure to secure the strait as oil prices soar. Iran says any strike on its energy facilities would prompt attacks on U.S. and Israeli energy and infrastructure assets in the region.
