Trump warned Tehran to reach a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz by April 7, praising US special forces for a high-risk rescue mission inside Iran.
US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, giving Tehran until April 7 to reach a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“If they don’t, there will be hell to pay,” Trump said, signaling the possibility of a strong military response.
The warning comes amid rising tensions over the strategic waterway, a critical chokepoint through which a significant share of the world’s oil supply passes.
Trump also highlighted a high-risk US military operation carried out deep inside Iran, in which American special forces rescued an airman. He described the mission as “successful” and praised the troops involved for their bravery.
The remarks are likely to further escalate already strained relations between Washington and Tehran, as global markets and regional actors closely monitor developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
