- Trump threatens to knock out every power plant and bridge in Iran if Tehran rejects the US offer.
- Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again less than 24 hours after it reopened, saying it will stay shut until the US lifts its naval blockade.
- US forces forced 23 ships to turn around near the strait since the blockade began, according to Central Command.
Why it matters: India's importers lose shipping capacity as Iran shuts the Hormuz Strait, while the US gains bargaining leverage; the Wednesday deadline ends the ceasefire, risking collapse of the Israel‑Hezbollah truce.
