Washington, 06 April (H.S.):

US President Donald Trump has ignited global alarm by publicly disclosing what many interpret as the exact timing for potential American strikes on Iran's critical civilian infrastructure, should Tehran refuse to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping.

In a Sunday evening post on his Truth Social platform dated April 5 at approximately 8:00 PM Eastern Time,Trump stated simply: Tuesday, 8:00 PM Eastern Time! Analysts view this as either a revised deadline for Iran to comply or a direct signal of impending military action, marking an extraordinary departure from conventional warfare protocol where operational secrecy is paramount.

The provocative message follows Trump's expletive laced threats earlier that day, vowing to obliterate Iran's power plants, bridges, and other vital assets if no peace deal emerges within 48 hours. It comes amid the dramatic rescue of a US Air Force weapons systems officer whose F-15E Strike Eagle was downed over Iranian territory, further straining relations in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
