- Trump's State Department issued a global warning for Americans to exercise increased caution, citing potential targeting of U.S. facilities and interests overseas amid a four-week U.S.-Israeli war in Iran.
- The warning highlighted that U.S. diplomatic facilities, including those outside the Middle East, have already been targeted, and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests.
- This alert followed a threat from Iranian military spokesperson Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, who warned that recreational areas worldwide would no longer be safe from Tehran.
- Trump initially issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to 'hit and obliterate' Iranian power plants if they did not comply.
- However, Trump later announced a five-day postponement of military strikes, citing 'productive conversations' with Tehran, though Iranian state media claimed he backed down due to their warnings and Tehran has not confirmed any talks.
