US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that it has 48 hours to reach a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening that “all hell will reign down” if the deadline is not met.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he had previously given Iran ten days to “make a deal or open up the Hormuz Strait,” adding that time was now running out.

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them,” Trump wrote.

Trump did not specify what actions the United States would take if Iran fails to comply, but the statement comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and concerns over disruptions to global oil supplies.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes, through which roughly one-fifth of global oil supply passes. Any disruption to the waterway is expected to have immediate impacts on global energy markets. (Newswire)
