News Topical, Digital Desk : Amid the ongoing war in the Middle East, US President Trump has threatened Iran with a major attack if it doesn't cease fire and open the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday. Instead of taking Trump's statement seriously, Iran has mocked Washington and rejected the ultimatum outright.
In fact, Trump has threatened Iran in clear and aggressive language that if it cannot make a peace agreement with America then he will destroy the entire Iran.
We have lost the keys...
Iran has dismissed Trump's threat with a mix of derision and ridicule. Regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's embassy in Zimbabwe said, "We've lost the keys." The Iranian embassy mocked Trump with cryptic comments like, "Next request, please."
Iran's control over Hormuz has increased difficulties
It is noteworthy that amid the ongoing war in the Middle East, Iran has completely controlled the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global oil supplies. This has shaken many countries around the world. Its impact is being felt in India as well.
Iran has set a condition for compensation
Iran has set compensation for damage caused by the US-Israeli attack as a condition for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise it insists on taxing ships passing through it.
The ongoing fighting between the two countries has crippled the global economy. Both sides refuse to withdraw from the battlefield. With the fighting dragging on for more than a month, the crisis has entered a volatile phase where military tensions and diplomatic maneuvering are playing out in parallel.
Trump has threatened
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital sea route for global oil and gas trade. About 20 percent of the world's fuel passes through it. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Trump has warned that failure to comply by Tuesday would lead to attacks on Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.
Iran counterattacks
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused Trump of dragging America into a living hell. He also alleged that US actions were being led by Benjamin Netanyahu.
In the face of the US-Israel-Iran conflict, Iran has ventured beyond its borders and attacked infrastructure in Gulf countries. Furthermore, Tehran has indicated it may further tighten its grip on the Strait of Hormuz.
