Trump threatens ‘hell’ for Iran over Hormuz Strait as deadline approaches
Iran war live: Trump warns of attacks as Hormuz deal deadline nears
AI Summary
Donald Trump threatened Iran with attacks on its power plants and bridges if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his deadline of Monday. The threat was made in an expletive-laden social media post on Sunday, where he stated that Tuesday would be "Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day" in Iran. Trump had previously set a 10-day deadline on March 26 for Iran to reopen the Strait, a key shipping route that has been halted since the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. While Trump claims Iran is seeking a deal to end the war, Iran has stated that it is not seeking to end the war and has vowed to escalate if its infrastructure is targeted. US-Israeli strikes have already targeted civilian infrastructure in Iran.
