Trump wrote that "time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down" on Iran unless it made a deal or opened the strait, re-upping his April 6 deadline. Gen. Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi of Iran's central military command called it a "helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid" move and said Iran would hit all infrastructure used by the U.S. military and Israel if attacked.

Why it matters

The ultimatum, a day after Iran downed a U.S. jet, started a countdown toward threatened strikes on Iran's power plants and bridges, with Tehran promising reciprocal attacks.
