Iranian Vice President Saqab Esfahani called on residents of Israel to secure water supplies within the next 48 hours.

"Residents of Israel and the peoples of countries where the bases of Iran's opponents are located are advised to stock up on water and charge their mobile phones within these 48 hours," the Vice President wrote on X.

The statement came against the backdrop of US threats to use force if Iranian authorities do not ensure access to the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
