US Issues 48-Hour Ultimatum to Iran Over Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face severe consequences amid escalating Middle East tensions. This follows reports of two US military aircraft being shot down and Iran striking two Black Hawk helicopters. Trump also claimed a massive strike in Tehran killed top Iranian military leaders, sharing a video on Truth Social. The US-Israel-Iran conflict, now in its sixth week, saw joint strikes near Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility, killing one person from debris as per IAEA. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi expressed willingness for peace talks in Islamabad but demanded a conclusive end to the war. A high-stakes US rescue operation is underway for missing crew from downed warplanes. The developments challenge Trump's leadership image.
