US President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if Tehran does not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, a significant escalation barely a day after he talked about “winding down” the war. “If Iran doesn’t fully open, without threat, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first!” Trump said on social media.

US officials said the missiles did not strike the base, with one failing mid-flight and another intercepted by a US naval vessel. President Trump has not sought congressional authorisation for the military campaign. On Friday, he suggested operations could be...
