48 Hours To Peace Or 'Hell': Will US Switch From 'Surgical Strikes' On Iran To Total Energy Destruction?
The US has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, warning of severe consequences if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. The move marks a potential shift in military strategy, with the US threatening to target Iran's energy infrastructure if the deadline is not met.
The US has given Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The deadline is set for Monday evening, and failure to comply may result in the US targeting Iran's energy infrastructure.

Iran has responded with defiance, but there are signs of back-channel diplomacy.
