Iran claimed that US President Trump would face 'internal upheaval' over a Truth Social post threatening to bomb civilian sites. Iran condemned the threats, labeling them as incitement to terrorize civilians while demanding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Conversely, Trump also hinted at ongoing negotiations with Iran.
U.S. President Trump posted a furious threat on Truth Social demanding Iran open the Strait of Hormuz. Following the rescue of a U.S. pilot shot down in Iran, Trump declared 'Power Plant Day and Bridge Day' and ended with 'Praise be to Allah'. Iran claims a U.S. aircraft was destroyed, while the U.S. says two of its own planes were destroyed due to technical issues.
President Trump threatened Iran with military escalation targeting critical infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. He posted on Truth Social, warning that 'Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day' in Iran. This comes amid rising tensions over maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
