Iran mocked President Trump's ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by joking they 'lost the keys.' This conflict escalated across the Middle East following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28th. Iran continues to pressure the US by restricting shipping through the strait, while the US recently conducted a daring rescue of a downed F-15 crew member inside Iranian territory.
President Trump suggests a good chance of Iran nuclear deal by April 6, threatening to seize Iranian oil if talks fail. Recent US-Israel offensive on Iran has heightened tensions in the Middle East.
