US President Donald Trump has extended his deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz to April 6. Donald Trump made this statement today in a social media post. He said he will hold off on bombing Iran’s energy plants. Meanwhile, thousands more US troops neared the region, Israel poured more troops into southern Lebanon to fight the Iran-backed Hezbollah, and Tehran tightened its grip on the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Sirens over Israel warned of barrages of incoming Iranian missiles, and Gulf nations worked to intercept fire. Heavy strikes were reported in Iran’s capital and other cities.
