Trump issues profane Iran ultimatum
Escalating his rhetoric to unprecedented levels, President Trump utilized a social media tirade to set a strict 48-hour deadline for Iranian authorities.
The President threatened to target civilian infrastructure, including power grids and transportation networks, if the vital shipping lane remains blocked.
This aggressive stance follows the successful rescue of a downed U.S. airman, which appears to have emboldened the administration's military posture.
International law experts and political rivals have expressed alarm, suggesting such strikes could constitute war crimes.
