"Trump issued an ultimatum demanding that Iran fully reopen Hormuz to commercial shipping, warning that failure to comply would lead to the US targeting Iranian power plants, starting with the largest."
"The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has left tankers stranded for weeks, significantly impacting fuel prices and global oil supply."
"Damavand power station, located southeast of Tehran, is Iran's largest, with a generation capacity of approximately 2,868 megawatts, primarily using natural gas."
Trump announced a five-day delay on planned strikes against Iran's power plants, citing productive talks, though Iranian news agencies reported no contact. The US aims to end Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for global oil and gas. The closure has caused fuel prices to rise significantly. Following Trump's announcement, Brent crude prices fell over 8%. Iran has 98 operational natural gas power plants, with the Damavand power station being the largest, generating approximately 2,868 megawatts of electricity.
