Donald Trump has warned the ‘crazy b******s’ in Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz in a foul-mouthed social media post on Easter Sunday.
The US President posted on Truth Social: ‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.
‘There will be nothing like it!!!
Open the F*****’ Strait, you crazy b******s, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!
Praise be to Allah.
President DONALD J.
TRUMP’.
The wild post came after Iran showed no signs of capitulating, striking oil fields and other economic and infrastructure targets in neighbouring Gulf countries.
Explaining his hopes that a deal can be reached before Tuesday’s deadline, he told Fox News: ‘I think there is a good chance tomorrow, they are negotiating now.
If Iran fails to make a deal, Trump said, ‘You’re going to see bridges and power plants dropping all over their country.’
‘If they don’t make a deal and fast, I’m considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil.’
The British government is now preparing for a worst-case scenario if the Strait isn’t opened, with the UK having crude oil stocks and refineries that can run without imports.
Trump’s latest rant on his Truth Social platform came the day after he issued a 48-hour deadline in another error-strewn message.
He wrote: ‘Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT.
Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.
Glory be to GOD!
President DONALD J.
TRUMP.’
Iran has intensified its restrictions on the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing US-Israeli war.
Iran insists that the world’s vital energy lifeline, through which nearly one-fifth of global oil passed before the war, remains open to everyone except to ships tied to the US, Israel and their allies.
US-Israeli strikes have already destroyed Iran’s tallest bridge, which links Iran’s capital with the western city of Karaj after Trump said he wanted to take the nation ‘back to the Stone Age’.
He also revealed that the US armed anti-regime protesters in Iran through the Kurds.
‘We sent them a lot of guns.
We sent them through the Kurds.
And I think the Kurds kept them’, he told Fox.
Trump also announced the US had launched a daring rescue mission to find an airman missing behind enemy lines.
The Colonel spent more than 24 hours hiding in the mountains armed with just a pistol after his F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down on Friday.
Iran had promised a reward for anyone who turned in the ‘enemy pilot’ as hundreds of gun-toting soldiers hunted him down in the rugged terrain.
On Sunday, after the extraction, Trump said he was injured but in stable condition.
‘This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour,’ Trump wrote on social media.
Trump said the crew member, a ‘highly respected colonel’, is ‘seriously wounded’, and planned to release an update on Monday.
‘This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to ‘man and equipment,’ he said.
‘It just doesn’t happen!
The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran,’ he continued.
It is unclear whether the US blew up the downed aircraft to prevent them falling into the enemy’s hands but Iran claimed victory, insisting the F-15s cost $100m each.
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf tried to troll the US, posting a picture of the smouldering wreckage, adding: ‘If the United States gets three more victories like this it will be utterly ruined.’
In a statement released on Sunday, the IRGC’s Public Relations Department said, ‘Following desperate US moves to rescue the pilot of the downed fighter jet and the entry of flying objects to the country’s central parts, the enemy’s flying objects were destroyed and the US once again suffered a humiliating defeat.’
