President Donald Trump issued an expletive-laden threat to bomb Iran's civilian power plants and bridges if it did not meet a new deadline of Tuesday to open the Strait of Hormuz.
"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--kin' Strait, you crazy b-stards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!" Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. He signed off the message: "Praise be to Allah."
