Trump issues profanity-laden Iran ultimatum

Escalating his rhetoric to unprecedented levels, President Donald Trump used a profanity-laced social media address to threaten the total destruction of Iranian power plants and bridges.

The ultimatum follows the successful rescue of a downed U.S. airman but signals a shift toward targeting civilian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

International observers and domestic critics have labeled the proposed strikes as potential war crimes, while Tehran has vowed a 'devastating' response to any such aggression.

Markets remain on edge as the Tuesday deadline approaches, with mediators making a last-ditch push for a 45-day ceasefire.
