Dubai, April 4: US President Donald Trump on Saturday re-upped a previous April 6 deadline for Iran to open up the Strait Hormuz or face devastating consequences.
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote on his social media account Saturday.
“Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!”
The president made his comment as he remained at the White House on Saturday morning.
The Trump administration hasn’t made an official comment on the US fighter jet shot down in Iran.
Relatives of late Gen. Soleimani held
The US State Department said the niece and grand niece of Gen Qassem Soleimani, who had lead the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, are now in ICE custody.
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were arrested after the State Department terminated their green cards.
The State Department said “as identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran.” Afshar’s husband is also banned from entering the US. (AP)
