Iran Warns Of New Strikes Day After Trump Extended Deadline To Reopen Strait Of Hormuz
"The movement of any vessel 'to and from' ports of origin belonging to allies and supporters of the Zionist-American enemies, to any destination and through any corridor, is prohibited, said the IRGC, which is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States."
"The Strait of Hormuz accounts for around one-fifth of global oil shipments and the effective closure of it by Iranian forces has become a central issue of the conflict, which started with US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28."
"As per Iranian Government request...I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time, Trump wrote in a social media post on March 26."
"Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well, Trump said in the post on his platform Truth Social."
The Iranian military has issued warnings of potential attacks across the Middle East and advised civilians to steer clear of areas near US forces. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, threatening harsh measures against any vessels attempting transit. The closure of this vital waterway, crucial for global oil shipments, has intensified tensions following US-Israeli strikes on Iran. President Trump postponed attacks on Iranian power plants, citing a request from Tehran, while claiming negotiations were ongoing despite Iranian denials.
