US EditionDonald Trump Says ‘Praise Be to Allah’ in Expletive-Ridden Easter Morning Message
Trump warned of strikes on Iran’s power plants and bridges if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, drawing swift backlash in Washington.
- On Sunday, April 5, President Donald Trump issued an expletive-laden ultimatum on Truth Social, threatening to strike Iranian power plants and bridges on Tuesday unless Tehran reopens the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the world's oil and natural gas flows.
- The threat followed the successful American rescue of both crew members from a U.S. fighter downed by Iranian forces on Friday, while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, disrupting global energy shipments and spiking fuel prices during the five-week-old war.
- Senior Iranian military officer Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi responded that "the gates of hell will open for you," while Trump claimed the U.S. is close to achieving "core strategic objectives" with Iran's missile supplies "decimated."
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer swiftly denounced the post as the president "ranting like an unhinged madman on social media," warning Trump was "threatening possible war crimes," while multiple lawmakers invoked the 25th Amendment for presidential removal.
- Officials stress that "major escalation" preparations do not include total invasion of Iran, though Trump's history of issuing threats and backing down after Iranian retaliation raises questions about follow-through as the war toll reaches more than 1,900 dead in Iran and over one million displaced in Lebanon.
