Trump threatens to destroy Iran power plants, Tehran promises retaliatory strike
US President Donald Trump issued a stark ultimatum to Iran: if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, American forces will strike Iranian power plants, starting with the largest. Trump posted his warning on the Truth Social platform.
Iran responded swiftly — military officials stated that any attack on energy facilities would be met with strikes on the energy infrastructure of both the US and Israel.
The escalation comes as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has nearly ground to a halt. The strait, located between the Persian and Oman Gulfs, carries around 20% of the world's oil trade.
On Saturday, Iran launched missile strikes on the Israeli cities of Dimona and Arad, near the Negev nuclear research center. Tehran described the attack as retaliation for a previous strike on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, which Israel denies. The IAEA confirmed no radiation leak but called on both sides to exercise military restraint.
The American-Israeli conflict with Iran has now entered its fourth week with no signs of ending — despite Trump earlier suggesting the possibility of winding down military operations in the region. The United States continues to build up its military presence across the Middle East.
