President Donald Trump escalated his warnings to Iran on Saturday, threatening to unleash “all hell” if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Monday. The U.S. has set a self-imposed deadline for Iran to take action on the strategic waterway, which is vital for global oil shipments.
Trump posted on Twitter that he had given Iran ten days to make a deal or open the Strait. The president’s comments come amid rising tensions between the two countries, with the U.S. maintaining a hardline stance.
Iran has not yet responded publicly to the deadline, and it remains unclear what specific actions the U.S. might take if Iran does not comply. The situation continues to draw international attention as the deadline approaches.
