After Trump threatens to destroy Iranian power plants, Tehran warns the region's vital infrastructure like desalination facilities will be targeted | Fortune
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the destruction in Arad and said it was a 'miracle' no one was killed there. He claimed Israel and the U.S. were well on their way to achieving the war's goals and implored the international community for more support."
"President Donald Trump warned the United States will destroy Iran's power plants if Tehran fails to fully open the Strait of Hormuz, setting a 48-hour deadline on Saturday."
"Iran has practically closed the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint connecting the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world through which roughly one-fifth of global supply passes."
Iran and Hezbollah increased their military actions against Israel, launching strikes across the country. Israeli leaders visited Arad, a town hit by Iranian missiles, which caused injuries but no fatalities. Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized the need for international support. President Trump threatened to destroy Iran's power plants if they do not open the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iran to warn of retaliation. The conflict, ongoing for four weeks, has resulted in significant casualties and economic instability, affecting global oil prices.
