🔴 DW Noticias 22 de marzo: EE. UU. e Irán cruzan amenazas contra sus infraestructuras energéticas

US President Donald Trump warned that his country would “annihilate” Iran’s power plants if Tehran does not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Iran responded that any attack would be met with strikes against US and Israeli energy assets and infrastructure throughout the region. The events suggest a dangerous escalation of the conflict, now entering its fourth week. Trump, under increasing pressure to ensure transit through this key waterway amid soaring oil prices, issued the ultimatum via social media. Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s main oil export routes, has been almost completely halted due to the conflict with Iran. Trump’s warning coincided with Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz’s announcement that Israel and the United States would “significantly escalate” their attacks against Iran in the coming days.
