Iran has firmly rejected US President Donald Trump's ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, calling it 'unbalanced.' This warning comes as tensions escalate between the US and Iran, particularly following joint military actions by the US and Israel that began in late February. Iranian officials have indicated that they will not yield to pressure, with a senior military commander describing Trump's remarks as 'helpless' and 'stupid.' The Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil route, has seen significant closure by Iran, raising alarms about potential energy supply disruptions. Amidst these tensions, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed that while Tehran is open to negotiations through mediation, any agreement must address what they term an 'illegal war.' The situation remains precarious, with reports of ongoing military actions, including drone and missile strikes involving Iran, Israel, and allied forces, further complicating the regional dynamics.
