Trump gives Iran 48-hour ultimatum to reopen Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, demanding it reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments. He warned that the result would be 'very good' and predicted the 'total decimation of Iran' if the demand was ignored.

In response, Iran threatened to 'completely' close the strait and target power plants. Some headlines noted Trump later extended the deadline.
