U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his threat directed at Iran, telling The Wall Street Journal that "the U.S. will strike Iran's power stations if they do not open the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening." Meanwhile, senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei claimed that "Trump's ongoing threats, stemming from despair and anger, are drowning in the swamp of war with Iran. The day will come when Trump understands that the world is not his stage for performance."
