Good morning.
I'm Ed Donahue with an AP News Minute.
President Trump says Iran still has time to meet his deadline to open the straight-of-form
moves to all ship traffic.
But in a social media post, the president warned, a whole civilization will die tonight
if the deadline is not met.
UN spokesman Stefanda Jureksis, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, is urging all nations
to abide by international law.
He recalls that civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, may not be attacked,
and a specific civilian infrastructure were to qualify as a military objective.
Vice President J.D. Vance is in Hungary.
I hope they make the right response, because what we really want is we want a world where
oil and gas is flowing freely, where people can afford to heat their homes and cool their
homes, where people can afford to transport themselves to work.
That's not going to happen if the Iranians are engaged in acts of economic terrorism.
The deadline is 8 p.m. Eastern time.
I'm Ed Donahue.
