"Open the Fu***In' Strait": Trump threatens to start bombing civilian infrastructure Tuesday
Axios
—
President Trump threatened to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges starting Tuesday if the regime https://www.axios.com/2026/04/04/trump-iran-hell-threat-deadline" target="_blank">doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters: Trump's https://www.axios.com/2026/03/26/trump-iran-talks-deadline-extended-energy-strikes-pause" target="_self">10-day deadline to Iran is expected to expire Monday.
He previously threatened to bomb the country's energy, water and oil infrastructure if no deal was reached to open the strait.
- Tehran has accused Trump of planning to commit war crimes and threatened to retaliate with similar attacks against infrastructure in Israel and in other Gulf states.
- Over the last ten days, the U.S. and Iran have https://www.axios.com/2026/04/01/trump-iran-ceasefire-president" target="_self">held indirect negotiations through https://www.axios.com/2026/03/31/china-pakistan-iran-peace-deal-strait-ceasefire" target="_self">Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey to try to reach a ceasefire deal in return for opening the strait of Hormuz.
No significant progress has been achieved so far.
What he is saying: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.
There will be nothing like it!!!
Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!
Praise be to Allah," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on Sunday morning.
