Trump Warns Iran: Strait of Hormuz Deadline

0:00On April 4, President Donald Trump just dropped a heavy warning to Iran on his truth social page, giving them 48 hours to reopen the strait. Of Hormuz or face serious consequences, he spelled it wrong, saying hell would rain down instead of rain, but the message is clear amid rising tensions over this key shipping lane. Earlier this week, Trump first set a deadline for late March to clear the strait, but after Iran asked for more time, he extended it to April 6 at 8 p.m. Eastern time. The strait handles about 20% of the world's oil supply, making it a massive flashpoint since the war with Iran kicked off on February 28th. Trump's made a plane, if they missed this cutoff, he's ready to hit Iran's energy sites with bombs again, even though that goes against the Geneva. Convention rules. Tensions are spiking fast on this one, so keep an eye out as the clock ticks down to that deadline.
