‘Open the F***in’ Strait’: Trump threatens to bomb Iran’s power plants, starting Tuesday
In an expletive-laden post on his Truth Social account on Sunday, US President Donald Trump warned that the US would attack power plants and bridges in Iran starting Tuesday — when his latest ultimatum for Tehran to make a deal ends — if the Islamic Republic failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” wrote the president.
Trump’s warning came after his vow on Saturday to rain “hell” on Iran if it failed to reach a ceasefire deal or open the strait by Monday, when time runs out on the ultimatum that he already extended twice.
Trump repeatedly threatened to strike Iran’s power grid if Tehran failed to comply with US demands. In response to US and Israeli strikes that began at the end of February, Iran targeted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, effectively closing the strategic waterway through which one-fifth of global oil usually passes.
Trump initially threatened on March 21 to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants within 48 hours if Hormuz remained shut, but then extended that deadline twice, claiming behind-the-scenes negotiations were progressing. However, talks have reportedly hit a wall in recent days.
Oman and Iran held talks on easing passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the Omani state news agency reported.
“Oman and the Islamic Republic of Iran held a meeting at the deputy ministers’ level in the foreign ministries of the two countries, with the attendance of specialists from both sides, during which the possible options were discussed regarding ensuring the smooth passage through the Strait of Hormuz,” the news agency posted on X.
“The experts from both sides put forward a number of visions and proposals,” it added.
