Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges in a profanity-filled social media post demanding Iran open the Strait or face ‘living in Hell’
Donald Trump has issued a threat to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges in a foul-mouthed tirade on Truth Social.
In an explosive rant, the US president wrote: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F******’ Strait, you crazy b******, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
It comes a day after he issued a chilling countdown to Iran writing on his blog: “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!”
The waterway is a critical route for global energy shipments, especially oil and gas moving from the Persian Gulf to Europe and Asia. Disruptions there have injected volatility into the market and pushed oil and gas-importing countries to seek alternative sources.
“The doors of hell will be opened to you” if Iran’s infrastructure is attacked, General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, on the country’s joint military command, said late on Saturday in response to Mr Trump’s renewed threat, state media reported.
The general threatened all infrastructure used by the US military in the region.
