#Trump, used expletive-laden language to call on #Iran to let ships through the #StraitOfHormuz as he threatened to further #attack #this #Iranian energy and transport #infrastructure.

Writing on #TruthSocial Trump said: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.”

Iran’s parliament speaker responded with a warning that the US president’s “reckless moves” would mean “our whole region is going to burn”. Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, added in a social media post: “Make no mistake: You won’t gain anything through war crimes. The only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending this dangerous game.”

Trump was sharply rebuked by US politicians, including #Republican former ally #MarjorieTaylorGreene, who called on the administration to “intervene in Trump’s #madness”, adding the president “has gone insane, and all of you are complicit”.

Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer wrote “the President of the United States is ranting like an #unhinged #madman on social media”. Schumer added: “He’s threatening possible #warcrimes and alienating allies. This is who he is, but this is not who we are. Our country deserves so much better.”
