US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping lane, or face severe repercussions. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump emphasized that Tuesday marks the deadline for Iran to either negotiate a deal or reopen the strait. He reiterated a 10-day ultimatum previously given to Tehran, stating that the time for action is running out and that Iran has just 48 hours to comply. Trump mentioned that he is extending a pause on military strikes targeting Iranian energy infrastructure until April 6, 2026, as part of ongoing diplomatic discussions, which he claims are progressing positively. His comments reflect escalating tensions in the region as he balances military threats with diplomatic efforts.
