Donald Trump issued a renewed ultimatum to Iran: reopen the Strait of Hormuz or the US will bring “Hell” and destroy Iran’s power plants starting Tuesday. This latest threat, posted on social media and laced with expletives, follows the rescue of a US airman more than a day after his fighter jet was shot down—a development that pierced the aura of invincibility Trump has sought to project as he tries to manage the growing risks of the Iran war (more on that below). Iran, this morning, said “no rational person” would agree to a ceasefire at this point. Axios reported that the US, Iran and regional mediators are discussing terms for a possible 45-day ceasefire.
