TEHRAN-(MaraviPost)-US President Donald Trump has warned of severe consequences if Iran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday’s deadline.
Trump stated that the US has plans to destroy Iranian power plants and bridges if the country doesn’t agree to a deal.
Iran has rejected the latest ceasefire proposal, describing it as “not good enough”.
The country’s response includes 10 demands, such as an end to conflicts in the region, a protocol for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions, and reconstruction.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital waterway, with around a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas supply passing through it.
Iran’s closure of the strait has caused significant disruptions to global energy markets.
Trump’s deadline has sparked concerns about potential war crimes, with critics arguing that attacking civilian power plants would be a violation of international law.
Trump has dismissed these concerns, stating he’s “not at all” worried about it.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides trading threats and accusations.
Iran has warned that it will not accept a temporary ceasefire and is seeking a permanent end to the war.
The international community is urging restraint, with mediators attempting to broker a deal.
Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are involved in the talks, aiming for a 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a broader peace agreement.
