Amid US President Donald Trump’s claims of erasing Iran from the world map, Gulf country President Masoud Pezeshkian has given a big statement on Sunday (March 22, 2026). He said that we are not afraid of baseless threats. The illusion of erasing Iran from the map shows frustration against the will of a history-making country.
Actually, this reaction of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has come after the 48-hour ultimatum given by US President Donald Trump regarding the Strait of Hormuz. By sharing a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump gave a threatening ultimatum to Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. He said that if Iran does not completely open the Strait of Hormuz without any conditions and threats within the next 48 hours i.e. two days, then America will completely destroy Iran’s power plants by heavily bombing them.
What did the Iranian President say on Trump’s ultimatum?
Regarding Trump’s ultimatum and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to countries around the world, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the Strait of Hormuz is open to all, except those who violate our land, rights and sovereignty. We are prepared to firmly face all random threats on this battlefield.
The illusion of erasing Iran from the map shows desperation against the will of a history-making nation. Threats and terror only strengthen our unity. The Strait of Hormuz is open to all except those who violate our soil. We firmly confront delirious threats on the battlefield.
