U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Iran, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday or face military strikes targeting Iranian power plants and bridges. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that if Iran does not comply, they will experience severe consequences. This warning follows a month of heightened tensions, during which the U.S. and Israel have conducted attacks on Iranian positions. Trump reminded Iran of a previous 10-day ultimatum and noted that time is running out, with only 48 hours left for Iran to act. He also announced a temporary pause on strikes against Iran's energy infrastructure until April 6, 2026, to facilitate ongoing diplomatic discussions. Despite the threats, Trump claimed that negotiations with Tehran are progressing positively, contradicting media reports suggesting otherwise. The situation in the region remains precarious as both diplomatic and military avenues are being explored.
