US President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump has delivered a sharp and controversial warning to Iran, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face severe consequences.

In a heated statement, Trump escalated tensions by threatening major action against Iran’s energy and transport infrastructure. His remarks have drawn global attention as concerns mount over the impact of the crisis on international trade and security.

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most vital shipping routes, carrying a significant share of global oil and liquefied natural gas. Its closure has already disrupted energy markets and triggered economic repercussions worldwide.

Meanwhile, Oman confirmed that talks with Iran are underway, as diplomatic efforts intensify to ease tensions and prevent further escalation. Regional and international actors continue to call for dialogue and restraint amid rising uncertainty.
