The US-Israel-Iran conflict has entered its fourth week, with no signs of de-escalation visible from either end.
US President Donald Trump threatened on Sunday to destroy Iranian power plants if Tehran does not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
"If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!," said Trump in a post on Truth Social.
Following Trump's warning, Iran has threatened to target all US energy infrastructure in the region if any of its fuel and energy infrastructure is targeted, Al Jazeera reported.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi ruled out a ceasefire as a viable option to end the war.
In a broadcast interview with the Japanese agency Kyodo, the Foreign Minister emphasised that Tehran does not want a ceasefire but remains open to talks to end the war.
Speaking on the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi claimed that the key maritime channel is "open."
