Trump Threatens Iran with Infrastructure Strikes Over Strait of Hormuz Closure

President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday or facing potential attacks on key infrastructure, including power plants and bridges. In a social media post on Sunday, Trump stated, "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!"

This ultimatum follows the downing of a U.S. F-15E fighter jet over Iran on Friday. Both crew members ejected; one was rescued shortly after, while the second was recovered in a subsequent operation. Trump praised the mission as "one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History."

Iranian officials have dismissed Trump's threats. Gen Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi of Iran's central military command described the U.S. president's actions as "helpless, nervous, unbalanced and stupid," warning that "the gates of hell will open" for the U.S. leader.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which about 20% of the world's oil supply passes, has been a focal point in the escalating conflict. The closure has led to significant disruptions in global oil markets, with crude oil prices surging amid fears of prolonged supply interruptions.

As the Tuesday deadline approaches, the international community remains on edge, closely monitoring the situation for potential developments.
