Oracle hit! Trump: Iran has only 48 hours left

【Introduction】Debris hits Dubai’s Oracle building, and Trump continues to threaten Iran

Brothers and sisters, how has your holiday been? Let’s take a simple look together at what’s worth paying attention to in the Middle East war.

Iranian airstrike debris falls on Dubai’s Oracle building

Over the weekend, Iran continued launching multi-wave missiles and drones, and the UAE said it intercepted dozens of incoming threats within the past 24 hours.

According to a statement from the Dubai Media Office, the office of U.S. tech giant Oracle in Dubai was damaged by debris generated from air interceptions. This was due to Iran’s retaliatory fire in response to strikes by the U.S. and Israel.

The Dubai Media Office said in a statement on X: “Relevant authorities confirmed that they responded to a small incident triggered by air-intercept debris landing on the exterior facade of the Oracle building in Dubai Internet City.” The statement also said that no one was injured in the incident.

Trump’s warning: Iran has 48 hours left

On the evening of April 4, U.S. President Trump said that the final deadline of 10 days he set for Iran to reach a peace agreement is running out, and he warned that Iran will face “a comprehensive strike” within 48 hours.

“Remember, I gave Iran 10 days—either reach an agreement, or open the Strait of Hormuz?” Trump wrote on social media. “With time running out—after another 48 hours, they will face the arrival of hell. Glory to God!”

Trump had previously extended the original 5-day deadline to April 6 because preliminary peace talks had begun in late March. As attacks by all sides continued to escalate—including Iran shooting down two U.S. military aircraft—Trump’s wording has shifted from trying to find a way out of the conflict in recent times to becoming even more hardline.

Trump warned that if Iran does not accept his conditions (the Iranian government has already refused) and reopens the Strait of Hormuz for all ships departing from the Persian Gulf to pass, the U.S. will bomb the country’s civilian energy infrastructure.

Within Iran, U.S. forces continued search-and-rescue efforts for the crew members of an F-15E fighter jet that Iran shot down on Friday.

According to reports, on the same day, another U.S. military combat aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf. As the war moves into its sixth week, these events deal a major blow to Washington—energy prices are rising, and there are almost no signs that the conflict is nearing an end.

On Friday, Trump declined to discuss the search-and-rescue operation during an interview. He said these events would not affect any negotiations with Iran.

Although Trump said in his prime-time address on Wednesday that Iran no longer has air-defense capabilities, this time a U.S. fighter jet was shot down. Its military commander and the defense minister also previously claimed that the U.S. has air superiority in Iranian airspace.

This is the first time since February 28, when the U.S. and Israel began attacks on Iran, that it has been confirmed that a U.S. or Israeli aircraft was lost in combat. In the early stage of the war, three U.S. aircraft were shot down in Kuwait due to friendly fire, and several other aircraft were destroyed or damaged at air bases by Iranian drones and missiles.

According to a U.S. official, the U.S. has rescued one person from the F-15 crew, and the status of the other is unknown. Iranian media said Tehran has put up a bounty of about $66,000, rewarding members of the public who capture the person.

According to reports, the pilot of another downed A-10 “Warthog” attack aircraft has also been safely rescued.
