WASHINGTON: A day after the Iranian forces downed multiple US aircraft, President Donald Trump renewed his threats against Tehran and asked it to “open up” the Strait of Hormuz, a vital trade route blockaded by Iran in response to the US-Israeli attacks, within 48 hours or face oblivion.
The new deadline came as Iran struck Israel multiple times on Saturday, including its defence ministry headquarters in central Tel Aviv, while also claiming that it deployed a new air defence system to deny the US-Israeli jets air superiority, as earlier claimed by President Trump.
