US President Donald Trump has issued a final ultimatum to Iran—agree to a ceasefire deal or face devastating strikes on critical infrastructure. Speaking from the White House, Trump warned that Iran could lose all major bridges and power plants within hours if it fails to meet the deadline. The warning comes amid rising tensions over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy supplies.
Iran has rejected a temporary ceasefire proposal and instead demands a permanent end to the war, along with sanctions relief and regional de-escalation. Tehran also insists on new arrangements governing transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the situation escalates further as strategic energy sites like the South Pars Gas Field—shared with Qatar—come under attack, raising fears of wider regional conflict. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has warned that military operations will intensify, even as diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes.
