Iran war: What’s happening on day 24 of US-Israel attacks?

On the 24th day of US-Israel military operations against Iran, the Trump administration has issued a deadline threatening additional strikes on Iranian power plants if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping chokepoint. The ultimatum reflects escalating tensions following sustained attacks that have already targeted Iranian military and energy infrastructure. Control of the strait, through which roughly one-third of the world's seaborne oil passes, is central to both regional security and global energy markets. The deadline has heightened geopolitical risk, with markets and Middle Eastern allies closely monitoring whether Iran will comply or face a new phase of strikes. The broader conflict involves Israeli military operations alongside US involvement, keeping the region in a state of high alert.
