Trump's ultimatum to Iran

Trump's ultimatum to Iran

In a series of aggressive social media posts on Easter Sunday, President Donald Trump warned the Iranian regime that it has until Monday to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz.

Failure to comply will result in a massive bombing campaign targeting Iran's energy grid, water systems, and transportation infrastructure starting Tuesday.

The President's rhetoric has intensified following the rescue of a U.S. airman, with Trump vowing that 'Hell will reign down' if a deal is not reached.

Tehran has officially rejected the ultimatum, describing it as 'helpless' and warning that the 'gates of hell' will instead open for the United States.
