Trump's 48-Hour Ultimatum To Iran
His remark comes hours after Trump gave a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. In a post made on Saturday, Trump had warned that if Iran doesn't fully open the strait within 48 hours, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants.
‘We Confront Threats On Battlefield’: Iran
Addressing Trump's repeated threats, Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian said the “illusion of erasing Iran from the map shows desperation against the will of a history-making nation”. He added, “Threats and terror only strengthen our unity.”
Stressing that the Strait of Hormuz is open to all except those who violate Iran's soil, Pezeshkian said, "We firmly confront delirious threats on the battlefield."
Iran War
The United States of America and Israel launched joint airstrikes on Iran on February 28 in a massive military operation, codenamed ‘Operation Epic Fury’ by the US and ‘Operation Roaring Lion’ by Israel. Iran retaliated and launched attacks on US military bases located in different countries in the Middle East, including the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Iran codenamed its retaliation 'Operation True Promise IV'.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said, “This operation against the positions of American-Zionist terrorists in the heart of the occupied territories and American terrorist bases began with massive explosions under the blessed code name 'Ya Hassan ibn Ali (peace be upon him)'.”
The war has entered its 23rd day today (March 22).
