U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Iran, stating that if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by April 7, 2026, the U.S. will target Iran's power plants and bridges. This threat follows a month of escalating tensions, during which Iran has effectively closed the vital shipping lane amid ongoing military actions by the U.S. and Israel. In a social media post, Trump emphasized the severity of the situation, declaring that Tuesday would be a day of significant military action. He also indicated that he believes there is a good chance of negotiating a deal with Iran on April 6, 2026, to avert further conflict. The president's comments come after the U.S. military successfully rescued two pilots whose aircraft had been downed in Iran. Trump plans to hold a news conference to provide updates on the situation.
