President Donald Trump has reversed course on his threats to “obliterate” Iran hours before his 48-hour deadline was due to expire.
On Saturday, the 79-year-old president said he would pummel the country if it didn’t agree to open the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically important shipping lane in the Gulf region, within 48 hours. The regime didn’t take the statement lying down, warning that it would “irreversibly” destroy critical infrastructure in neighboring countries.
Economic panic brewed over the weekend, with analysts warning of an all-out energy crisis. But by Monday morning, Trump suddenly had a very different tone, saying Washington and Tehran had engaged in talks that prompted him to take things down a notch.
