Us President Donald Trump just held a press briefing in the White House in Washington on Iran's deadline on opening the Strait of Hurmuz. Trump told journalists that he was informed that the weekends mission in Iran was dangerous. The President still maintained the deadline for Iran. Meanwhile, the United States is on high alert as tensions escalate with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. In an explicit post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump threatened to target Iranian power plants and bridges if the strait isn't reopened today. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil trade with around 20 million barrels of oil passing through it daily. Iran has effectively closed the strait since US and Israeli attacks on Iran began, sparking global fears of an oil crisis.
