Iran Issues Ultimatum Over Strait of Hormuz Peace Deal

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian indicated that the critical waterway will remain under threat until Washington satisfies the terms of the stalled deal. The ultimatum marks a decisive departure from previous negotiations, as Tehran cites a total loss of faith in a peaceful resolution. The U.S. Treasury has responded by promising further economic isolation, setting the stage for a rapid escalation in regional instability. With the clock ticking on this self-imposed deadline, the standoff underscores the fragility of existing maritime security in the Gulf.
