Trump Extends Deadline for Iran to Reopen Strait

March 23, 2026 · 7:28 am ET · Leave a Comment

President Trump extended the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, just hours ahead of a deadline later in the day, the AP reports.

Writing in all capital letters on Truth Social, he said the U.S. and Iran have had “very good and productive conversations” that could yield “a complete and total resolution” in the war.

He said talks will continue “throughout the week.”

Trump previously claimed to be in talks with Iran, which Tehran denied.
