Washington D.C., USA – United States President Donald Trump has issued a final warning to Iran, giving the nation 48 hours to reach a deal regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz or face military consequences.
Okay News gathered that the President issued the ultimatum via Truth Social on Saturday, April 4, 2026, referencing a previous 10-day deadline he had set on March 26. “Time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign (sic) down on them,” Trump wrote, adding, “Glory be to GOD!”
The threat follows a period of heightened tensions in the region, with the U.S. demanding that Iran ensure the vital maritime corridor remains open for international shipping. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint, through which a significant portion of the world’s oil supply passes daily.
While the White House has not yet released a formal operational plan, the President’s rhetoric suggests a major escalation in his administration’s “Maximum Pressure” campaign against Tehran. This latest warning comes just 24 hours after Trump’s Good Friday message, in which he touted a “resurgence of religion” in America and reflected on his personal faith. International observers are now closely monitoring the region as the 48-hour clock begins to wind down.
