Iran responds to Trump’s threats he will ‘obliterate’ power plants if Strait of Hormuz does not open

Israel says strikes on Iran are to "rise significantly" in the coming week.

US President Donald Trump has given Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz before American forces "obliterate" their power plants.

Iran says if its fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked, all US energy infrastructure in the region will be targeted.

A UK official has confirmed Iran fired two ballistic missiles at the joint UK-US military base at Diego Garcia.

Iran says it's ready to help Japanese ships through Strait of Hormuz.
