Trump Threatens U.S. Strike on Iranian Power Plants as Strait of Hormuz Closure Looms

Iranian officials have defiantly stated they will keep the waterway shut, escalating the risk of a direct military confrontation. This threat directly impacts global energy markets and signals a potential shift from economic sanctions to kinetic warfare in the Middle East.
