Markets finish flat as Sensex manages to stay above 33,800-mark

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a chilling ultimatum to Iran, warning that “all hell will reign down” if Tehran does not comply. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump gave Iran 48 hours to reach a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. The warning comes shortly after Iranian authorities accused the U.S. and Israel of striking key petrochemical facilities in Khuzestan province. Trump had previously threatened to target Iran’s energy infrastructure, power plants, and bridges if the country failed to meet his earlier deadline. With time running out, the world watches closely as tensions rise in the Gulf, highlighting the high stakes and potential for escalation between the U.S. and Iran.
