TRUMP GIVES IRAN 48 HOURS OF ULTIMATUM TO OPEN “STRAITS OF HORMUZ”
Straits of Hormuz is actually not blocked completely. Many tankers and ships are being allowed to pass through once they pay a certain amount of fee. Reportedly, Iran charged a single tanker seeking pass permit around 2M dollars! Iran is also letting Russian and Chinese tankers to pass through the channel without any fee— as claimed by many online sources. However, Iran is not allowing US and Israel allied tankers or tankers of nations supporting them. USA initially offered vessels security protection but so far not a single tanker could pass under US security umbrella.
Trump has made a fresh post from his verified truth social account, citing concerns over Iran’s illegal decison to block the Straits of Hormuz. He has threatened to obliterate Iran’s electricity and oil facilities altogether if the regime doesn’t cease the blockade. Iran in response has made a counter threat— if USA or Israel attacks its electricity infrastructures then they will unleash catastrophic response as to make the entire gulf region go into blackout. So far the situation regarding the Straits of Hormuz is extremely volatile and marines on board USS Tripoli are about to arrive in their destination soon.
