Trump Warns of Civilization’s End Amid Intensifying Iran Strikes
Amid escalating tensions with the United States, Iranian officials are mobilizing the youth to protect critical infrastructure. President Trump has issued an ultimatum regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial artery for global oil transport.
Trump’s Ultimatum on Iran
President Trump set an ultimatum of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is vital, as it carries approximately one-fifth of the world’s crude oil. If the ultimatum is not met, Trump has threatened military action against Iran, including airstrikes targeting the country’s power plants and bridges.
Iran’s Call to Action
In response to the threats, Iranian officials have called on the youth to form human chains around power plants. Alireza Rahimi, the secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents, urged all young citizens, including athletes, students, and professors, to participate. This initiative aims to secure national assets deemed vital for the future of Iran.

This number represents a significant increase in reported support for the war effort compared to previous estimates. Encouraged by past calls to action, many Iranians have responded positively to government initiatives during tense moments with the West.
Conclusion
The situation continues to develop as the deadline looms. Iran’s leadership seeks to unite its people in defense of the nation amidst intense international scrutiny and threats. The coming days will be critical in shaping the region’s geopolitical landscape.
