Trump issues 48-hour ultimatum; Iranian military says it will firmly defend its rights.
CoinFeed reported on April 5th that, according to Cailian Press, US President Trump posted on social media, reiterating his tough stance on the Iran issue. He stated that he had previously given Iran 10 days to reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump indicated that the deadline was approaching and warned that if the US demands were not met, further action could be taken "within 48 hours." Abdullahhi, commander of the Khatham Anbia Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, responded that the Iranian military would firmly defend national rights, protect national assets, and make the aggressors pay the price. Abdullahhi said that after a series of setbacks, Trump was engaging in "helpless, panicked, unbalanced, and foolish behavior" in an attempt to threaten Iranian infrastructure and national assets.
