Trump issues bloodcurdling MISSPELLED threat to Iran as deadline to reopen Strait of Hormuz approaches
Donald Trump issued an alarming but misspelled threat to Iran about closing the Strait of Hormuz.
‘Remember I gave Iran ten days to make a deal or OPEN THE HORUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before Hell takes over. “Praise the Lord!” the president posted on the Truth Social website Saturday morning. he wrote.
He should have used another spelling of the word “rain” in his post as tensions mount over the shipping channel vital to global oil trade.
Trump initially set the deadline for reopening the narrow waterway at the end of March. After Iran requested more time, it postponed it to April 6 at 20:00 ET.
If that deadline passes, Trump has said he is willing to continue bombing Iran’s energy infrastructure, which is illegal under the Geneva Convention.
Since the war in Iran broke out on February 28, the Strait has become a major point of contention, as about 20 percent of the world’s oil supply originates there.
Iran has claimed control over the Strait by imposing a blockade against nations that support the American-Israeli war effort against their country.
So far, access has been granted to ships coming from countries that Iran considers ‘friendly’, such as China, Russia, India, Iraq and Pakistan.
President Donald Trump issued his final warning to Iran on Saturday morning, demanding that they open the Strait of Hormuz.

On Friday, a French ship became the first ship allowed to transit from a Western country.
This came after French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Trump’s aggression in the Middle East and implored him to get serious about opening the Bosphorus.
French officials have not yet commented on allowing the ship to pass, but the container ship signaled during its journey that it is not hostile to Iran.
Trump’s enthusiasm for opening the Strait of Hormuz comes at a time when gasoline prices are soaring in the United States and around the world.
According to AAA, the average price of gasoline in the United States is $4.10 per gallon; This is up 37 percent since before the start of the war, when prices were just under $3 per gallon.
