Trump threatens to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if Strait of Hormuz not opened in 48 hours

US President Trump warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face US strikes on its power plants, escalating tensions over the vital oil shipping route. The US temporarily eased sanctions on Iranian oil, potentially releasing 140 million barrels to global markets. Iran reportedly launched long-range missiles capable of reaching Europe, intensifying the conflict and raising global security concerns.
