Washington D.C., USA – President Donald Trump has issued an expletive-laden ultimatum to Iran, threatening to launch aggressive strikes against the country’s power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the strategic Strait of Hormuz is not immediately reopened.
Okay News gathered that the President delivered the fiery warning via an Easter Sunday post on Truth Social, writing: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” He escalated the rhetoric further by demanding, “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!” before controversially ending the message with, “Praise be to Allah.” A subsequent post set a precise deadline for the ultimatum at 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Tuesday.
The intense warnings follow a successful 48-hour mission to rescue two U.S. pilots from deep inside Iranian territory, an operation Trump referred to as an “Easter Miracle.” The broader conflict, which escalated over a month ago following U.S. and Israeli strikes, led Tehran to effectively choke off the Strait of Hormuz. The closure of the vital shipping lane has severely disrupted global oil transport, driving the average price of U.S. gasoline to $4.11 a gallon.
Trump’s aggressive language has sparked polarized reactions in Washington. While some political allies defended his unyielding posture, critics condemned the rhetoric as dangerous. Furthermore, the Council on American-Islamic Relations strongly criticized his sign-off, stating that the casual use of “Praise be to Allah” alongside violent threats “reflects a disturbing willingness to weaponize religious language while simultaneously denigrating Islam and its followers.”
