President Trump has issued a new ultimatum to Iran regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening military action if compliance is not met. He stated that countries dependent on oil from the Strait must ensure its security themselves. U.S. forces recently rescued a downed Air Force officer in Iran. Tensions are high in the region, with missile interceptions reported by Kuwait and the UAE. Iranian officials dismissed Trump's threats as desperate, insisting that the Strait will only open with compensation for war costs.
