U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a warning that the United States might target Iran's energy and water infrastructure if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not reached. According to NS3.AI, this statement comes as oil prices have surged to approximately $115 per barrel. Tehran has dismissed the U.S. proposals as unrealistic, further escalating the conflict.
