WASHINGTON (Horn post) Donald J. Trump has warned Iran that it has just 48 hours to reach a deal or reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, raising the stakes in an already volatile regional standoff.
In a social media statement, Trump said he had previously given Iran a 10-day deadline to either finalize an agreement or allow the free flow of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy corridor. He emphasized that “time is running out,” warning that only 48 hours remain before what he described as severe consequences.
The remarks come amid intensifying tensions across the Middle East, fueling widespread speculation over potential military action and its far-reaching implications for global oil markets and regional stability. Analysts say any disruption in the Strait of Hormuz — through which a significant share of the world’s oil supply passes — could trigger sharp economic and geopolitical repercussions.
There has been no immediate official response from Iranian authorities.
