US President Donald Trump gave Iran a two-day deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or have its power plants bombed. Tehran countered that if its power facilities are attacked, it would close the Strait of Hormuz “completely” and target “all energy, information technology, and desalination infrastructure” linked to the US and Israel. Also on the show: Selloff in stocks, gold and bonds deepened as the US and Iran hardened their rhetoric and signaled a potential escalation to their conflict.
