Washington | Israel launched a new wave of attacks on Monday against Tehran and a top American commander told Iranians to remain in shelters for the foreseeable future, while Iran renewed strikes on its Gulf neighbours and threatened to start hitting their power plants.
As Iran continues its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump gave a 48-hour deadline for Tehran to open the strategic waterway to all ships, saying that otherwise the United States would “obliterate” Iran’s power plants.
