President Trump has threatened to attack Iran’s power plants unless it fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil route, by April 6. Israel on Friday launched more strikes on Iran.

President Trump on Thursday warned Iran to “get serious soon” about negotiating an end to the war — then gave the regime 10 additional days to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the extension came at the “request” of the Iranian government.

President Donald Trump said Thursday he will delay a threatened strike on Iran’s energy infrastructure and extend his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz until April 6.

Trump said oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz signals real talks, and special envoy Steve Witkoff reports positive signs in U.S.-Iran backchannel negotiations.

Strait of Hormuz closure dominates a Trump-Starmer call, as Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Iran warns of further U.S. strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure.

The strait, one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels, has been effectively blocked by Iran since the outbreak of the war last month.
