Trump issues ultimatum to Iran amid rising tensions

More from this show

In a recent post on Truth Social, President Trump had warned Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, or he would blow up their power plants. President Trump has given an 8 pm EST (5 pm AZ) deadline, as the post left many people rattled, including Republicans.

While Trump acknowledged that the war is not popular with everyone, he is firm on destroying Iran’s infrastructure and says he is not concerned about being accused of war crimes. He also says the rescue mission for the two downed servicemen was a success.

Dr. Evelyn Farkas, Executive Director at McCain Institute, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the latest on the war.
