Trump sets Tuesday deadline and threatens Iranian infrastructure strikes over Strait of Hormuz access

President Trump issued ultimatums to Iran regarding freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, setting a Tuesday deadline and threatening military strikes against Iranian infrastructure if his terms are not met. The demands center on ensuring open sea passage through a critical global shipping route that Iran has previously threatened to block. Trump's escalation raises the immediate risk of direct military conflict between the US and Iran over regional control and energy exports. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly one-third of global seaborne oil trade, making any disruption consequential for international markets and fuel prices.
