Trump Issues 48-Hour Ultimatum to Iran, Threatens 'All Hell Will Reign Down'

President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran via Truth Social on April 4, 2026, threatening that 'all Hell will reign down on them' if Tehran does not reach a deal with Washington or reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The threat came amid escalating military conflict, with U.S. and Iranian forces searching for a missing American pilot from warplanes downed over Iran and the Gulf region. Trump referenced his earlier 10-day deadline from March 26, warning Iran to make a deal or open the critical waterway through which 20% of the world's oil passes daily. The ultimatum followed Iranian Revolutionary Guards launching 'wide and multi-faceted attacks' and reports of U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian sites including near a nuclear power plant. This represents a continuation of Trump's aggressive rhetoric toward Iran, including previous threats to bomb the country 'back to the stone ages.'
