Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to reach deal on Strait of Hormuz enters day 2: 'hell will rain down'
President Donald Trump's 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to reach a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz entered its second day on Sunday.
Trump warned the regime that "all hell will rain down" on it if a deal isn't reached, threatening to target Iran's energy infrastructure.
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!" he added.
Trump has demanded Iran fully abandon its nuclear weapons capabilities — including halting enrichment — while also curbing its missile program and regional activity in exchange for potential sanctions relief.
