Toronto: Canada: Past Months:

Month High Low

February, 2026 134.9 cent(s)/litre 128.9 cent(s)/litre

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!” Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday morning (at about 8:00am).

Trump had issued a similar two-day ultimatum to Iran on March 21, only to extend the deadline to April 6.

The threat is a stark contrast to Trump’s claims last week that the USA did not need the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump U-turn on Hormuz could be due to 'pressure' from Gulf nations

FRANCE 24 English has the story.

President Donald Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. He had previously given a 48-deadline to Tehran, which would lead to strikes on Iranian power plants were the Strait not to reopen. The backtracking could have been encouraged by Gulf States, who have been targeted by vigorous strikes by Iran; FRANCE 24's Philip Turle tells us more.

Iran war: Tehran fails in missile strike on the US-UK base at Diego Garcia

DW News on Youtube has the story.

Tehran has fired two long range missiles at the remote US UK base on Diego Garcia — one intercepted, the other failing mid flight. The attempted strike, condemned by the UK as "reckless," shows Iran is willing to hit far beyond the Gulf as the conflict widens. The missiles traveled farther than previously believed possible, raising new questions about the true range of Tehran's weapons.

With Diego Garcia lying nearly twice as far as Iran's assumed maximum missile range, DW spoke with experts Farzan Sabet and Hans‑Jakob Schindler to assess the real capabilities of Iran's missile program — and to examine how seriously governments and the public should take Tehran's warning that Israelis and Americans are now "unsafe worldwide."
