President Donald Trump warned that “hell will reign down” on Iran within 48 hours unless the country opens the Strait of Hormuz.
“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. Glory be to GOD!” Trump said in a Truth Social post Saturday.
Around a fifth of the world’s oil and gas passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is at the center of the conflict, and Iran’s tight grip over its navigation has caused chaos for import-dependent countries.
Trump’s latest warning to the Iranian regime, where he appeared to confuse the use of “rain” with “reign,” comes as the search for a missing U.S. fighter pilot continues after a F-15 was shot down Friday.
The president fired off a slew of Truth Social posts Saturday morning, where he hit out at the media and touted job figures, but he did not reference the missing pilot. – Independent
