Trump Threatens Strikes on Iranian Power Plants, Bridges Over Strait of Hormuz Closure

President Donald Trump warned in a profanity‑laced social media post Sunday that the United States will target Iranian power plants and bridges on Tuesday if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. He wrote that "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran" and threatened that Iranian leaders would be "living in Hell" if they do not "open the F----- Strait." The message comes amid the U.S.‑led Operation Epic Fury against Iran and follows weeks of Iranian strikes and threats that have effectively choked traffic through the strait, already driving oil above $110 a barrel and U.S. gasoline above $4 a gallon. On social media, the post is drawing intense scrutiny not only for its coarse language and "Praise be to Allah" sign‑off, but for openly naming civilian infrastructure as prospective targets and putting a near‑term date on possible escalation. The threat sharpens questions in Washington and abroad about how far the administration is prepared to go in widening the Iran conflict and what that could mean for international law, regional stability and the already‑visible economic fallout in the United States.
