Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, warning of severe consequences if it fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post shared via the White House’s official X account, Trump intensified pressure on Tehran, stating that time was running out following an earlier demand to either strike a deal or restore access to the key oil transit route.

The Strait of Hormuz remains central to the escalating tensions, as disruptions have already impacted global oil flows and raised fears of a wider conflict.

The latest warning signals a sharp escalation in rhetoric between both nations, with diplomatic efforts yet to produce a breakthrough.
