Donald Trump, the U.S. president, on the 5th (local time) again pressured Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening strikes on power plants and bridges.
On the morning of the same day, he posted on Truth Social, “Tuesday (the 7th) will be Iran’s day for power plants, day for bridges,” and added, “Open the damned (Hormuz) Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll live in hell.”
The post warned that once the reprieve expires, a large-scale attack targeting Iran’s critical infrastructure—power plants and bridges—could begin on the 7th. Observers say the message was intended to pressure Tehran to reopen the strait and push toward a negotiated settlement.
Trump said everything would converge on an unprecedented scale and told his audience to “watch.” He also used a mocking “Praise Allah” comment and multiple profanities in the post. While the rhetoric steps up pressure, analysts also interpret the tone as reflecting a sense of urgency within the administration.
Trump’s rhetoric has become increasingly severe. In a national address on the 1st, he threatened to “set Iran back to the Stone Age” with extremely powerful strikes over the next two to three weeks, signaling the prospect of wide-ranging destruction.
Earlier, Trump said he would negotiate with Iran and delayed the planned strikes on power plants and other energy infrastructure for ten days, until the 6th.
