US President Donald Trump says Iran has 48 hours to "make a deal" or open the Strait of Hormuz before "Hell will reign [sic] down on them".
In a post on Truth Social, he writes: "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! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
In another post a moment earlier, mostly talking about the benefits tariffs have brought the US economy, he signed off with: "All of this and, simultaneously, getting rid of a Nuclear Iran. MAGA!!!"

Actually, maybe it's more like Kim Jong {fill_in_blank} and his threat to rain fire and destruction on America.
Let's just call it Dictator Word Salad.

(26,205 posts)If Trump is raining he'll on Iran, oil will very likely go over 120$.
Essentially Trump is ending the US, bankrupting the country for nothing. Iran was never a threat to us. This is insane and Americans do not want this war.

Timeline of Trump's deadline to Iran
10:49
As we've just heard, Trump is threatening to rain down "hell" on Iran if it doesn't "make a deal" or open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
He's given many deadlines during the war, with this latest threat matching the 10-day pause in attacks on energy infrastructure he announced on 27 March.
Here's a timeline:
21 March: Trump said he would "hit and obliterate [Iran's] various power plants, starting with the biggest ones first" if Iran didn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours
23 March: He then said the two countries had had "very good and productive conversations" and said he would postpone any and all military strikes against energy infrastructure for five days
27 March: Trump said he would pause attacking Iranian energy plants for 10 days, in response to what he called a request from the Iranian government, bringing the deadline to 6 April
Today: He repeats his 27 March deadline, telling Iran it has 48 hours before "all Hell will reign down on them"

(96,954 posts)The 48 hours threat isn't the first either. He said the same thing on March 22nd.
Course, he's nuts enough to do anything.

(3,104 posts)insulting that he claims to believe in God suddenly.
And what hell will he reign down?
All he's going to do is keep doing what he's already doing. But I guess people are saying it is the biggest reign of hell ever, nobody has ever seen anything like it.
This guy is exhausting
