For the second time this week,.. U.S. President Donald Trump has extended an ultimatum for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping traffic, noting peace talks "are going very well." But as Washington allows a brief window for diplomacy, regional tensions continue following Israel's assassination of the Iranian naval commander overseeing the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Our Kim Do-yeon has the details.
-----------------
The United States has given Iran another reprieve, halting threatened military strikes on its energy infrastructure to allow room for diplomacy. U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ten-day pause on the destruction of Iranian energy plants, pushing an existing deadline from March 27 to April 6. Taking to TruthSocial on Thursday, the President noted the extension was requested by the Iranian government and that ongoing talks are progressing well.

However, the rhetoric from Washington remains forceful. During a cabinet meeting, President Trump asserted that Iran's severely degraded military capabilities have left Tehran desperate for an agreement. He also issued a stern economic warning, stating that the U.S. seizing and gaining control of Iranian oil reserves remains a viable option if negotiations fail. "Who wouldn't negotiate? They are begging to make a deal. We'll see if we can make the right deal. And they make the right deal, and the Strait will open up, Hormuz Strait will open up."

The potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is closely tied to the latest major escalation by Israeli forces. On Thursday Israel announced it had killed the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU "This man has a great deal of blood on his hands, and in addition he was the one who led the closure of the Strait of Hormuz."

This key military figure was directly responsible for overseeing the ongoing blockade of the critical maritime transit route. Netanyahu also claimed the killing was a coordinated strategic effort with the United States to achieve broader wartime objectives. The combination of a tactical pause from Washington and a strategic strike from Israel leaves global energy markets and international supply chains highly volatile. Kim Do-yeon, Arirang News.
