Trump Issues 48-Hour Ultimatum to Iran Over Strait of Hormuz

Washington D.C. U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that if his demands are not met within the specified time, he would unleash 'hellfire' upon Iran.

Posting on his social media platform 'Truth Social', Trump wrote, 'Remember, I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open the Strait of Hormuz. Now time is running out. In 48 hours, there will be hellfire upon them. President Donald J. Trump.'

Previously, on March 27, Trump had announced a 10-day suspension of attacks on Iran's energy centers. In another post shortly before that, he discussed the benefits brought to the U.S. economy by tariffs. At the end of that post, he wrote, 'Along with all of this, we are getting rid of a nuclear Iran.'

Trump has been repeatedly warning Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or reach an agreement. On March 21, he threatened that if Iran did not open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, he would destroy various power plants, starting with Iran's largest energy centers.

Subsequently, on March 23, he claimed there had been a 'very good and productive conversation' between the two countries and stated that he had postponed military strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure for 5 days.

Later, on March 27, citing a request from the Iranian government, he announced that he had halted attacks on energy centers for an additional 10 days (until April 6).

Now, as that 10-day deadline approaches, Trump has once again issued a stern warning, giving Iran a 48-hour ultimatum.
