‘Only the president knows’: The world awaits Trump’s 8 p.m. Iran deadline - Politico
Overview
The president set an 8 p.m. deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and warned of strikes if it did not comply, then later paused that ultimatum amid talks. The newest reporting indicates he called off a planned attack after Middle Eastern leaders asked him to hold off, underscoring how compressed timelines and external diplomatic pressure have shaped U.S. decisions. That combination of firm deadlines and last‑minute delays has heightened international attention and the risk of miscalculation.
