Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated significantly as the deadline set by Donald Trump for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key corridor for global oil transportation, approaches. The American president warned of severe consequences if the demand is not met, using strong language and speaking of "devastating" repercussions. Meanwhile, in Tehran and other cities, authorities report the mobilization of citizens, who have gathered near strategic sites such as bridges and power plants, forming human chains as a symbolic act against a potential attack. According to Iranian state media, women and children have also participated in these gatherings, while scattered footage on social media shows groups of citizens assembled near critical infrastructure. The situation remains tense, as the international community watches with concern developments that could impact not only regional security but also global energy markets.
