Trump deadline for Iran countdown live updates: US President Donald Trump set April 7, 8 p.m. EDT (3:30 a.m. Tehran, 5:30 a.m. IST) as the final deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face catastrophic military strikes.

Trump’s “we broke it, but you own it” position has put Europe in a bind: Trump did not consult his European and NATO allies before launching the war. But now, he is demanding that they take responsibility for returning things to how they were before.

President Trump warns of dire consequences for Iran as a deadline approaches for capitulation. International reactions highlight escalating tensions and humanitarian concerns.

President Trump said that “we have already met and exceeded” his military objectives. But his goals are largely unresolved.
