President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Iran, giving them a 48-hour ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of their power plants.
This statement follows a declaration by the foreign ministers of the G7 countries that they are prepared to take necessary actions to uphold the global energy supply.
In a joint statement, the G7 ministers strongly condemned Iran’s aggressive attacks on civilians and energy infrastructure in various countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Iraq, as per UNSC Resolution 2817. These actions by Iran pose a significant threat to regional and global security.
The ministers called for an immediate halt to all Iranian attacks and emphasized the importance of protecting maritime routes, navigation safety, and energy market stability, including in the critical waterways like the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump, through his social media platform Truth Social, stated that if Iran fails to open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the United States will target and destroy their power plants, starting with the largest one. The message was signed off by President Donald J. Trump.
