US President Donald Trump has extended his ultimatum to Iran regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz until Tuesday evening. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the White House chief announced the new deadline for Iran to reopen the strategic waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint through which approximately one-fifth of global oil shipments pass, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. Any blockade or restriction of this passage would significantly impact international energy markets and global trade routes.
