The tension between America and Iran has now reached the threshold of world war. After the ‘send to hell’ warning given by US President Donald Trump, now Iran has also retaliated sharply. A top Iranian official has made it clear in blunt words that the ‘Strait of Hormuz’, one of the world’s most strategically important sea routes, will not be opened until every penny of the huge financial loss incurred during the war is compensated.
Trump’s anger and Iran’s sharp response
Mehdi Tabatabai, deputy head of communications in the office of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, has made a direct and sharp attack on Trump. He described Trump’s recent statements as the result of extreme disappointment and frustration. Tabatabai warned that these provocative words and threats by the US President are creating a completely destructive war-like situation in the entire region. Actually, Trump, while posting on Truth Social, has given a strict ultimatum to Iran to open the strait at 8:00 pm (Eastern Time) on Tuesday night, which is going to end at 3:30 am on Wednesday as per Tehran time.
The loss will be compensated by the toll tax collected from ships.
Iran has made its conditions regarding the Strait of Hormuz clear to the whole world. Tabatabai announced on the social media platform Under this new arrangement, toll or duty would be collected from all foreign ships passing through this route and with the same money the war losses would be fully compensated. However, this controversial step of Iran has been strongly condemned by governments and shipping experts around the world.
Iran’s appeal to the United Nations – ‘Tomorrow will be too late’
After Trump’s inflammatory posts and threats, the Iranian mission present in the United Nations (UN) has also expressed strong objection. The mission has termed Trump’s statement as an ‘open threat’ to destroy the infrastructure essential for the lives of citizens. Calling for immediate intervention by the international community, Iran said it is the legal responsibility of all countries to stop such horrific war crimes. The Iranian mission said in a stern tone that the world should take action now, otherwise it will be too late tomorrow.
Trump’s devastating ultimatum: No bridge or power plant will survive
Let us tell you that in a recent interview given to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump had directly warned Iran of facing disastrous consequences. Trump had openly said that if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening, no power plant or bridge will be left standing in his country. It has become clear from this entire tension that while Washington is bent on direct military action, Tehran is also adamant on its insistence on heavy compensation, due to which the entire world is holding its breath.
