Recent developments in the Middle East include missile strikes on southern Israeli towns and an ultimatum issued regarding the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, more than 100 individuals were reported injured following Iranian missile attacks on two towns in southern Israel, including Arad. Reports indicate that Israeli air defense systems were unsuccessful in intercepting these projectiles.
Concurrently, Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran. His remarks included a threat to strike Iranian power plants if Tehran does not ensure the "full opening" of the Strait of Hormuz within the specified timeframe.
