Summary:

On Saturday, President Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz or the U.S. military would destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure, beginning with the largest site first. Iran responded that if so attacked they would destroy the energy infrastructure and vital desalinization plants of the GCC. Monday came and Trump backed off, saying there had been productive talks with Iran. He issued a new five-day timeframe. Iran denied the talks occurred and raised him: they’re not interested in talking anymore. So, the clock ticks on another Trump ultimatum.
