Trump issues profanity-laden Iran ultimatum

President Donald Trump has intensified his military rhetoric against Iran, setting a firm Tuesday deadline for the reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping lane.

In a profanity-laced tirade on Truth Social, the president threatened to obliterate Iranian power plants and bridges if the maritime blockade continues.

This escalation follows a high-stakes rescue of a downed U.S. airman and has drawn sharp criticism from domestic political opponents who warn of potential war crimes.

Global energy markets have reacted sharply to the instability, with Brent crude prices climbing back above $110 per barrel.
