Trump sets deadline for Iran to reopen Strait of Hormuz, threatens strikes a

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Iran until 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning that failure to comply could trigger U.S. attacks on key infrastructure across the country. In a series of social Trump's ultimatum, linked to Iran keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, has already sent oil and gasoline prices higher worldwide due to the disruption in this vital energy route.
