Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum to Iran threatens to destroy Hormuz power plant if it doesn’t open

Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump has threatened to destroy Iran’s power facilities in the Hormuz Strait within 48 hours. “If Iran does not fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the United States will attack Iran’s power facilities, starting with one of the largest power plants,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday. ’

US Central Command has also said that its “clear military objective” is to undermine Iran’s ability to demonstrate force against US citizens and its neighbours. At the same time, Iran has also given a strong reply to the US and Israel. The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Aerospace Force, Maj. Gen. Seyyed Majid Mousavi, said Iran has maintained its missile dominance over Israeli airspace and warned that the attacks would shock American and Israeli commanders.

He said Israel’s southern skies would remain bright for hours, hinting at the launch of new missiles. The speaker of the Iranian parliament, M.B. “Israel’s failure to intercept missiles even in high-security areas like Dimona confirms that Israeli skies are defenseless and the war has entered a new phase,” Qalibaf said. On the other hand, the Israeli Air Force is investigating why a ballistic missile fell on the southern city of Arad and why its defense system failed. According to Israeli media, two attempts to intercept the missile failed.
