Iran threatens to 'completely' shut Strait of Hormuz after Trump's ultimatum as war rages

Amid escalating conflict in the Middle East, both the United States and Iran issued threats to target critical infrastructure which has intensified fears of a wider regional fallout. Iran warned that the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global energy shipments, would be "completely closed" if the US acted on President Donald Trump's ultimatum to strike Iranian power plants. Trump has reportedly given a 48-hour deadline for Iran to reopen the strait.
