Trump extends his deadline for Iran to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Mar 23, 2026
US President Donald Trump has extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. will hold off on striking power plant strikes for five days, close near the end of the original forty-eight hour deadline. He also said the US and Iran were having 'very good' conversations - something that Tehran has denied. FRANCE 24's Philip Turle breaks down these new developments.
