Trump Deadline Raises Fears of Escalation With Iran

David Tafuri reports as tensions rise ahead of President Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump has warned of severe consequences, including potential strikes on key infrastructure, while also making controversial remarks about targeting broader elements of Iranian society.

Critics raise concerns about international law, while mediation efforts led by Pakistan seek a last-minute ceasefire. So far, Iran has shown no sign of complying, leaving uncertainty over what comes next.
