Trump threatens to hit Iran infrastructure on Tuesday if Strait remains blocked

U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a social media post on Sunday that the United States plans to strike Iran’s power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. He stated, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” This message was shared on Truth Social, highlighting the important shipping route that Iran has effectively shut down since the U.S. and Israel began their attacks on the country over a month ago. Trump added, “Open the ****in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!” He concluded his post, which came on Easter morning, with the phrase, “Praise be to Allah.” Additionally, the president mentioned that he would hold a news conference in the Oval Office on Monday, following the rescue of two U.S. pilots whose planes were shot down in Iran.
