Breaking: Trump Issues Explosive Warning To Iran Over Power Plants And Strait Of Hormuz Crisis

In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump issued an ultimatum giving Iran until Monday evening to fully restore access to the strategic waterway. He warned that failure to comply would trigger military action targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure.

He stated that if Iran does not fully reopen the Strait “without threat” within the deadline, the United States would “hit and obliterate” Iranian power facilities, beginning with the largest.

The deadline was set for 7:44 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday (3:14 a.m. Tuesday in Tehran), marking a firm 48-hour window from the time of his post.

The latest warning represents a sharper escalation from previous remarks in which Trump had suggested targeting Iranian infrastructure, while also noting such actions could hinder reconstruction efforts.

The threat follows comments made a day earlier in which Trump indicated the United States was considering reducing military involvement in the Middle East, while predicting that the Strait of Hormuz would eventually reopen on its own.

The ultimatum is among his most direct warnings to Iran since tensions escalated in late February, intensifying concerns over regional stability.

Experts have noted that any strike on Iran’s power plants could have severe humanitarian consequences, as electricity systems support essential services such as hospitals, water supply, and communications, raising questions about compliance with international laws of armed conflict.
