US President Donald Trump says Iran has 48 hours to "make a deal" or open the Strait of Hormuz before "Hell will reign [sic] down on them".

In a post on Truth Social, he writes: "Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out.

"48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

In another post a moment earlier, mostly talking about the benefits tariffs have brought the US economy, he signed off with: "All of this and, simultaneously, getting rid of a Nuclear Iran. MAGA!!!"
