ISTANBUL, April 4 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- United States (US) President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Iran has 48 hours to meet Washington’s demands to make a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social.
“Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them,” he added.
On March 26, Trump said he had extended Iran’s nuclear negotiation deadline to 10 days, partly because Tehran sent him 10 Pakistani-flagged oil tankers as a goodwill gesture.
The region has been on alert since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
