Trump Issues Threat To Iran, Warns Of Strikes On Power Plants, Bridges; Says ‘Open The Strait, You Crazy Bastards’
United States President Donald J. Trump issued an explosive ultimatum to Iran on social media Sunday, threatening military action if Tehran does not reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
In a profanity‑laden post on his Truth Social platform, Trump warned that “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” before demanding the strait be reopened.
“Open the F*****’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” he wrote, in remarks that mark a sharp escalation in rhetoric as tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high.
The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial shipping lane through which a large share of the world’s oil supply passes.
Trump’s message came after he gave Iran a 48‑hour deadline to comply with his earlier demand to reopen the waterway or face “all Hell” raining down on the country in response to its closure amid ongoing hostilities.
In multiple posts, Trump linked his warning to potential strikes on Iranian infrastructure, specifically bridges and energy facilities, underscoring the seriousness of the threat.
The post represents one of the most direct and confrontational public threats from the U.S. during the current standoff, and it has drawn global attention as the deadline approaches.
