Trump issues expletive-laden Iran ultimatum

In an unhinged Easter Sunday social media tirade, President Donald Trump warned Iranian leadership they would be "living in hell" if shipping lanes remain blocked.

The administration has set a shifting 48-hour deadline for the reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, threatening to obliterate critical civilian infrastructure.

International law experts have cautioned that targeting power plants and bridges could constitute war crimes under the Geneva Convention.

Despite the rhetoric, Trump signaled that a diplomatic deal might still be reached within days to avert a full-scale regional conflagration.
