Political tensions escalate as Trump threatens Iran with military strikes over Strait of Hormuz closure. The president issued an expletive-laden ultimatum on social media, demanding Iran reopen the strategic waterway or face bombing campaigns targeting power plants and bridges. Democratic lawmakers have criticized the approach as strategically counterproductive, with some arguing the conflict has become a military failure. Senator Chris Murphy suggested constitutional lawyers examine the 25th Amendment, while Representative Ro Khanna called for immediate ceasefire negotiations. The threat has significant implications for global energy markets, as the Strait of Hormuz remains critical infrastructure for international oil trade. Iranian officials dismissed Trump's warnings as delusional rhetoric.
