United States President Donald Trump has warned that Iran’s power plants will be “obliterated” if Tehran fails to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days. The threat came as Israel launched new attacks on Tehran, with explosions reported in the eastern part of the Iranian capital. The developments mark the 23rd day of the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran.

In response, Iran has continued its retaliatory strikes against Israel and other regional countries. Nearly 100 people were reported injured after Iranian missiles hit towns near an Israeli nuclear facility. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the situation as “a very difficult evening in the battle for our future,” following strikes on the towns of Arad and Dimona.

The escalating exchanges highlight the deepening conflict between the US-Israel alliance and Iran, with the Strait of Hormuz emerging as a critical flashpoint in the confrontation.
