MAR-A-LAGO, FL – Former President Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly basing the tight deadline on what sources close to the former commander-in-chief described as a 'very good, very strong feeling' he had this morning.

“Look, I just woke up and I had this tremendous feeling, a really excellent feeling, that 48 hours is the perfect amount of time,” Trump told reporters, pausing briefly to adjust his golf visor. “Any longer, and they’ll think we’re weak. Any shorter, and it’s just not fair. Forty-eight hours, it’s a beautiful number.”

The ultimatum, which threatens the obliteration of Iranian power plants should the Strait not be fully reopened, has reportedly bypassed traditional diplomatic channels in favor of what one anonymous former State Department official called 'the vibes of a guy who just watched a movie with a ticking clock.'

“Usually, these things involve intelligence briefings, strategic assessments, maybe a few phone calls,” explained Dr. Evelyn Reed, a geopolitical analyst at the Institute for Global Serendipity. “But a 'very good feeling'? That’s a novel approach to international relations. It certainly cuts down on paperwork.”

When pressed on the specifics of the 'feeling,' Trump elaborated, “It was, frankly, a tremendous feeling. Like when you know you’re going to win big. Just a winning feeling. And Iran, they’ll feel it too. They’ll know.”

Experts are now scrambling to determine if international law recognizes 'tremendous feelings' as legitimate grounds for military action, or if they’re just really good at predicting golf scores.
