Donald Trump threatens to unleash 'Hell' blitz in expletive-filled warning to Iran - 'Open the f***in’ Strait!'

President Donald Trump said the United States will target Iran's power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened in an expletive-filled social media post.

On his Truth Social page, President Trump said: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!"

He continued: "Open the f***in' Strait, you crazy b******, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!"

The President finished his Easter Sunday post with: "Praise be to Allah."

In an interview with Fox News, the President said a deal with Iran is possible by Monday, and that Iran was negotiating.

He added that current negotiators on the Iranian side have been granted limited amnesty.

However, the President said he ideally will take Iranian oil if Tehran is unwilling to make an agreement.

The war in Iran continues to spread chaos across the region and roil financial markets, raising the pressure on PresidentTrump to find a quick resolution to the conflict.

Last week, a deadly US air strike on a major suspension bridge near Tehran, which the UN’s humanitarian relief chief Tom Fletcher said constituted a breach of international law.

Former British diplomat Mr Fletcher told the BBC: "You don’t hit civilian infrastructure. That includes hospitals. You don’t hit schools, you don’t hit energy sources, you don’t hit bridges. Those are war crimes."

The war has entered its sixth week with little sign of progress in diplomatic efforts for a resolution.
