Trump Gives Iran 48 Hours to Make Deal or Face 'All Hell' as US Airman Missing
President Trump gave Iran 48 hours to make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face 'all hell.' US and Iranian forces are searching for a missing American airman whose fighter jet was shot down over Iran.
President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran on Saturday, warning that 'all Hell will rain down' if Tehran fails to cut a deal or reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The threat comes as US and Iranian forces are scrambling to find a downed American airman who ejected from a fighter jet that was shot down over Iran. Details about how the aircraft was downed are still emerging.
Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for global oil supplies. The closure has led to a spike in oil prices worldwide, affecting gas costs for consumers.
Trump has been relatively quiet about the search efforts for the missing airman, instead focusing his public statements on repeating threats about the strait's closure. Both countries have forces actively searching for the missing crew member.
The 48-hour deadline creates a ticking clock for potential military action or diplomatic breakthrough between the two nations.
The Strait of Hormuz closure has caused oil prices to spike, meaning higher gas costs for Americans. A missing US service member and Trump's ultimatum could escalate tensions into a larger conflict that affects global markets and security.
Watch for Iran's response to Trump's 48-hour deadline and any updates on the missing US airman search.
