Iran Threatens U.S. Treasury Buyers Amid Trump Ultimatum

Iran has issued a stern warning to U.S.-linked financial institutions holding American government bonds, threatening to target them alongside military bases. This comes as Donald Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Tehran over the Strait of Hormuz looms, with potential strikes on Iranian power plants looming.

The threat from Iran's Parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, underscores the escalating tension in the Middle East. Markets are on edge as the situation could lead to prolonged conflicts and supply disruptions.

Meanwhile, Israel is intensifying its military actions against Iranian targets, including missile attacks and strikes on strategic locations. The U.S. and its allies are prepared for a prolonged conflict, with implications for global energy supplies and economic stability.
