Trump sets deadline for Iran to open Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing conflict.
President Trump has given Iran a Tuesday deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz, threatening strikes on Iranian infrastructure including power plants and bridges if the deadline is not met. Iran has rejected the ultimatum and threatened to respond in kind to any attacks on its infrastructure. Conflicting reports emerge about whether Iran has agreed to open the strait, with some outlets reporting an agreement while others indicate negotiations are ongoing.
