Since March 21: ultimatums, pauses, and new warnings. Deadline set for April 6 for the reopening of the Strait
Donald Trump shifts his tone, timing, and rhetoric in his standoff with Iran, alternating between threats and overtures as the crisis drags on for over a month. Since March 21, the White House’s stance has oscillated between ultimatums, suspensions of attacks, and new warnings regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The latest deadline is set for April 6 at 8 p.m. (U.S. time): Tehran has just a few hours to reopen the strategic passage and allow oil traffic to resume, otherwise the United States will strike power plants and energy infrastructure. Trump has spoken openly about the risk that “all hell will break loose” if no agreement is reached.
This is not the first time the U.S. president has set a tight deadline. In a previous message on Truth, he had granted 48 hours, threatening to “strike and destroy” Iran’s main power plants.
Two days later, on March 23, the tone shifted: an announcement of a five-day pause in attacks and an openness to talks described as “very positive and productive.” The suspension of military operations was presented as a signal to facilitate a negotiated solution.
Tehran, however, denied the existence of direct contacts through the Mehr news agency, claiming that the American statements were intended to influence the energy market.
On March 27, a new extension was announced: a ten-day truce, with the deadline pushed back to April 6. Trump explained that he had accepted an Iranian request for more time.
Meanwhile, Washington put a 15-point plan on the table, calling for Iran to abandon its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which had been blocked for weeks, affecting oil prices.
The Iranian response was immediate. General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, speaking from the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, called the American threats “desperate, nervous, unbalanced, and stupid,” warning that any attack would open “the gates of hell.”
Tehran maintains its position: the missile program is non-negotiable, and the Strait remains under the control of the Islamic Republic.
