‘Time Is Running Out’: Trump Warns Iran To Open Strait Of Hormuz Within 48 Hours
President Donald Trump gave Iran a final warning on Saturday to open the Strait of Hormuz or else “all Hell will reign down on them.”
“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 said in a post to Truth Social.
This warning comes just days after the national average for a gallon of gas peaked over $4 per gallon — the highest since 2022 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Crude oil has also jumped to over $100 per barrel compared to around $70 prior to the beginning of the war.
