On April 5, 2026, President Trump warned Iran that it has 48 hours to reach a deal or face severe consequences, including military action, if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has effectively closed the strait, a critical passage for 20% of the world's oil exports. This escalation follows the downing of two American military planes by Iranian forces, with one crew member still missing. The situation has led to heightened tensions and retaliatory threats from both nations. The U.S. has also revoked green cards for two women linked to the late Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani. The geopolitical implications of this standoff could significantly impact global oil prices and security in the region.
