"Trump hospitalized," the White House denies: "We've never had a president who works harder than him."

The administration was forced to silence rumors circulating on social media.

the war

Trump: "Open Hormuz, you bastards, or I'll devastate everything by Tuesday." Then came the cryptic post that seemed to postpone the ultimatum.

The president rejoices over the recovery of the soldier in the downed F-15 and threatens Tehran, which refuses to budge: "You are dragging the US into hell."

The IDF destroys UNIFIL surveillance cameras, a deliberate act: "A laser was used."

The UN spokeswoman: "They were only filming the headquarters and the immediate vicinity; it was for our own safety. We're concerned; the violence is rising, but we're staying."
the crisis

Fuel supplies are limited, with restrictions at four Italian airports. Ryanair: "Supplies guaranteed until May."

Flight restrictions at Linate, Venice, Treviso, and Bologna: a sort of controlled kerosene management begins. This is just a taste of what could happen with a prolonged closure of Hormuz.

Trump issues Iran an ultimatum: "You have 48 hours to reach a deal, or it will be hell." Tehran rejects him.

The tycoon reminds Truth of the deadline announced on March 26: "Negotiations now or the Straits will reopen." The Iranian regime responds: "It will be hell for you; you'll sink into the swamp."
