Washington, USA – United States President Donald Trump used the festive backdrop of the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday to deliver a chilling new warning to Iran, threatening to destroy the country’s infrastructure if it does not capitulate.
Okay News gathered that speaking to reporters amidst children, Easter decorations, and cheerful music, the President reiterated his Tuesday deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Reacting to reports that Iran had rejected a ceasefire proposal, Trump warned that if the Iranian government does not yield, they will have “no bridges, no power plants, no anything,” adding ominously that there are other things “worse than those two.”
During the surreal press briefing, Trump also addressed other facets of the ongoing conflict. He stated his personal preference would be to use military power to seize Iran’s oil reserves, though he acknowledged that the American electorate would rather see troops come home.
Furthermore, the President appeared to confirm that the U.S. had attempted to arm Iranian anti-government protesters who faced deadly crackdowns late last year. He accused Kurdish groups of keeping the U.S.-supplied weapons intended for the demonstrators, stating he is “very upset” and warning that the groups are “going to pay a big price for that.”
The President also defended his controversial, expletive-laden Truth Social post from Easter Sunday, in which he told Iran to “Open the Fuckin’ Strait.” When questioned about the vulgar language and his “Praise be to Allah” sign-off, Trump brushed the criticism aside, claiming he used the profanity “only to make my point.” He also briefly spoke about the recent rescue of a U.S. airman shot down in Iranian territory, further highlighting the escalating military tensions.
