Trump Threatens Iran with 'All Hell' as Monday Strait of Hormuz Deadline Looms
President Trump threatened to rain 'all hell' down on Iran as a self-imposed Monday deadline approaches for the country to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump posted the warning on Truth Social, escalating his threats against Tehran.
President Trump ramped up his warnings against Iran on Saturday, threatening massive retaliation as the U.S. approaches a Monday deadline he set for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
'Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,' Trump wrote on Truth Social before issuing his 'all hell' threat.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran 'back to the Stone Ages' and said the U.S. military was nearing completion of its mission in what he calls 'Operation Epic Fury.' He warned that over the next two to three weeks, America would bring Iran back to where 'they belong.'
The president claims the war will end 'shortly' but has offered no clear timeline. Iran has denied requesting any ceasefire as fighting continues.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important oil shipping lanes. About 20% of global oil passes through the narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key shipping route for global oil supplies. Any conflict there could spike gas prices and disrupt the world economy. The escalating threats raise fears of a wider war in the Middle East.
Watch for Trump's response if Iran doesn't meet his Monday deadline to reopen the strait.
