US EditionTrump promises to strike Iran’s infrastructure on Tuesday if Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened
- On Monday, President Donald Trump extended his ultimatum to Iran, setting a new Tuesday 8 p.m. ET deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on power plants and bridges.
- Since military operations began on February 28, the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively blocked, halting one-fifth of global oil shipments and driving prices past $100 per barrel.
- U.S. forces rescued a 'seriously wounded' aviator from Iranian territory after an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down Friday; Trump hailed the operation as 'one of the most daring' in U.S. history.
- Iran-Linked forces attacked energy infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Bahrain on Sunday, while Iranian officials rejected the ultimatum and demanded war damage compensation.
- International legal scholars warn that targeting civilian power infrastructure may constitute a war crime, as diplomats from Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt attempt to secure a ceasefire.
