Trump Issues Final Ultimatum to Iran Over Strait of Hormuz Closure

Washington D.C. | U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a sharp and aggressive final warning to Iran, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Using inflammatory language on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump warned that Iran would face dire consequences if the maritime route is not reopened by the upcoming Monday deadline.

He explicitly signaled that Iranian civil infrastructure, power plants, and bridges would be targeted, labeling the Iranian leadership as insane. Trump threatened to turn Iran into a hellscape, venting his anger by stating, 'Open the f**** strait.'

The Strait of Hormuz, considered one of the world's most vital trade routes, has been paralyzed since the conflict began at the end of February. Trump had previously repeatedly extended deadlines for potential strikes. After issuing a 48-hour ultimatum on March 21, he had extended the timeline citing positive communications with Iran.

However, he has now set April 6 (Monday) as the final deadline. Having issued a 48-hour warning just yesterday, Trump today threatened massive bombardment, mockingly referring to it as 'Power Plant Day' and 'Bridge Day' in Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint through which approximately 20 percent of the world's oil and one-third of fertilizer trade passes. Since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, vessels in the region have been under constant attack. Normally, nearly 3,000 ships transit this route monthly, but it currently remains largely deserted due to Iranian threats.

The closure of this passage has caused global fuel prices to skyrocket and has triggered a severe crisis in the supply of food and medicine.
