Trump Issues Warning to Iran Over Strait
Trump told Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Monday. Trump said he would order strikes on Iran starting Tuesday if Iran did not comply.
He said targets would include power plants and bridges. Iran said Trump's actions were dangerous.
An Iranian spokesman said the region could face serious consequences. Iranian media reported a United States aircraft was lost during a search mission.
