President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Easter Sunday with a curse-laden, crazed threat to attack Iran should the regime not open the Strait of Hormuz.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” wrote Trump in yet another threat to strike the country’s civilian infrastructure as his unpopular war enters its sixth week.
“Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
His call to reopen the critical waterway for the world’s oil trade follows a similar threat on Thursday evening when he declared the U.S. military “hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran,” adding that more of the country’s bridges and power plants were next.
Earlier that day, the U.S. attacked civilian infrastructure in the country for the first time when it bombed a bridge near Tehran. Experts have expressed concerns that such attacks could constitute war crimes under international law.
