India, March 22 -- US President Donald Trump on Sunday warned Iran that if they don't open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the US will "hit and obliterate" their several power plants, "starting with the biggest one."

In a Truth Social post, Trump urged Iran to open the essential passageway, which has been put on a chokehold by Iranian forces since the start of the US-Israel attack on Iran and the latter's counterattacks.

"If Iran doesn't fully open, without threat, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump said in the post.
