US President Donald Trump has published an expletive-laden post on his Truth Social platform, in which he threatens Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
He references targeting civilian infrastructure and tells Iran they will be “living in Hell” if the vital shipping lane is not opened.
The post comes ahead of Trump’s self-imposed deadline to Tehran to reopen the strait by Monday, which has been effectively closed since war broke out at the end of February.
The paragraph below contains very strong language.
Trump says: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
US President Donald Trump warns that attacks on Iran will be stepped up if Tehran does not reach a peace deal within 48 hours. Tehran has rejected the “helpless and nervous” ultimatum.
US and Israeli forces continued their strikes on Iranian hospitals, universities and other civilian infrastructure, as attacks on Iran’s petrochemical facilities killed at least five and wounded dozens.
US and Iranian forces are searching for an American airman, who is still missing after his warplane was shot down over Iran on Friday.
Yemen’s Houthi group says it carried out a joint long-range attack on Israel alongside Iranian and Hezbollah forces.
