The statement comes as the United States reportedly carried out strikes on Kharg Island, a key location for Iran’s oil exports and a strategic point in the ongoing conflict. 

According to reports, the warning is linked to demands for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil routes. 

The situation has raised global concern, with fears growing over a possible escalation into a wider conflict. Critics have also reacted strongly to Trump’s remarks, describing them as extreme and dangerous. 

With the deadline approaching and tensions rising, the world is closely watching how the situation unfolds  whether diplomacy will prevail or further escalation will follow.
