In an expletive‑laden social‑media post and a Wall Street Journal interview, Trump warned that if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday he will strike its power plants and bridges — at times vowing to destroy "every power plant" and warning Iran it would be "living in Hell," even appending the sign‑off "Praise be to Allah" and praising a rescued F‑15 crew member. Rights groups including Amnesty International’s Agnes Callamard condemned the threat, saying attacks on power and bridge infrastructure would chiefly harm civilians and could amount to war crimes, while observers note both sides have already struck infrastructure such as oil fields and desalination plants, raising legal and humanitarian concerns.
