The warning comes as Iranian forces launched fresh strikes on Israel, intensifying the ongoing conflict and raising fears of a broader regional war.
According to U.S. officials, failure by Iran to comply with the ultimatum could trigger military action targeting key infrastructure, including power facilities. The development marks a significant escalation in the standoff between Washington and Tehran.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route through which a significant portion of the world’s crude supply passes, has become a focal point of the crisis. Disruptions in the waterway have already contributed to rising global oil prices and heightened concerns over energy security.
