According to Al Jazeera English on Sunday April, 05 2026, US President Donald Trump has issued a stark new warning to Iran, threatening that “all hell will rain down” if Tehran does not reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump reminded Iran of the 10-day deadline he had previously issued, demanding that Tehran either make a deal with Washington or reopen the narrow waterway through which a large share of the world’s oil supply passes.
“Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them,” Trump wrote, intensifying fears of a wider regional conflict.
The warning came after Iran restricted movement through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important shipping lanes. The closure has already triggered concern in global energy markets, with analysts warning that a prolonged disruption could drive up oil prices and deepen instability across the Middle East.
Trump also boasted on social media about what he described as a successful overnight strike on Tehran that allegedly eliminated several senior Iranian military commanders. The US president claimed the operation had “wiped out” key figures in Iran’s military leadership, though Iranian authorities have not publicly confirmed the deaths. Read_More…
