#Trump escalated threats against #Iran power plants, bridges & other infrastructure in an expletive-laden post on Truth Social on #Easter morning.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump posted. “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.”
The profane threat, landed a few hours after #PopeLeo XIV issued a call for nations to choose #peace.
#Iran said it would respond “crushingly” if #Trump carried out his threats to strike #PowerPlants & #bridges unless Tehran reopens the #StraitOfHormuz by Trump’s newly extended Tuesday deadline.
Trump has threatened repeatedly to bombard critical Iranian #infrastructure unless Iranian forces meet his deadlines to end their de facto blockade on the Strait of #Hormuz.

#Trump has postponed that threat several times, most recently on Sunday, when he pushed back the deadline by a day, to Tuesday evening in the #US.
#Iran has refused to back down, firing repeated volleys of ballistic missiles at its neighbors & snarling global shipping.
“If attacks on #civilian targets are repeated, the subsequent phases of our offensive & retaliatory operations will be carried out much more crushingly & extensively,” Ebrahim Zolfaghari, an Iranian military spox, said Monday.
Strikes on #PowerPlants could affect millions of #civilians across #Iran, in what many legal experts argue could be considered #WarCrimes under #InternationalLaw. Such attacks could also add to worries about the global #economy, which has been rattled by soaring #energy prices since the #war began in late Feb. #Oil prices rose slightly during Asia’s business day on Monday before falling on reports of progress in indirect talks between Iran & the #US.
The impasse has left #Trump contemplating extreme options for the next steps, including a #GroundInvasion of islands in the Persian Gulf. Mediators in Pakistan, Egypt & Turkey have sought to broker a deal to end the crisis, to little avail. While Trump has postponed threatened attacks before, analysts say repeatedly doing so without tangible progress toward peace would risk eroding his credibility.🤣
