Trump issues profanity-laden Iran ultimatum

Trump issues profanity-laden Iran ultimatum

In a series of social media posts, President Trump issued a crude ultimatum to Tehran, demanding the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

He explicitly warned that failure to comply would result in targeted strikes against civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.

This aggressive stance has drawn sharp criticism from international law experts who warn such actions could constitute war crimes.

The threats coincide with a period of intense regional tension following the rescue of a U.S. aviator shot down over Iran.
