US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, stating they have 48 hours to negotiate a deal or face military consequences, particularly concerning the Strait of Hormuz. This ultimatum is linked to a previous deadline of April 6 for Iran to reopen the strait, a crucial maritime route for global oil shipments. The warning follows Iran's recent downing of two American fighter jets, including an F-15E, which has intensified hostilities between the two nations. Trump has fluctuated between diplomatic overtures and threats of destruction, including targeting Iran's energy infrastructure and civilian facilities if negotiations fail. In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has maintained that such threats will not lead to Iranian surrender, indicating a firm stance against US pressure.
