President Donald Trump warned on the 4th (local time) that Iran has little time left, writing on Truth Social, "In 48 hours they'll face hell. Glory to God."

Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social: "Do you remember I gave Iran 10 days to negotiate or to open the Strait of Hormuz?"

Earlier, on the 26th of last month, Trump had suspended a 10-day ultimatum that threatened attacks on Iranian facilities.

The deadline for potential strikes has been extended to 8 p.m. ET on the 6th.
