Donald Trump posted a harsh message warning Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that Tuesday will be a day of bombing power plants and destroying bridges in Iran.
On 5 Apr 2026 GMT+7, Donald Trump, U.S. President, posted a shocking, crude warning to Iran via Truth Social, threatening severe military action if Tehran does not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping route.
Trump's message stated that the upcoming Tuesday “will be a day of bombing power plants and a day of destroying bridges, all in the same day in Iran. It will be something no one has ever seen before!!!”
“Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be going to hell — just watch!” Trump declared on Truth Social.
This brief statement is the latest signal from the president about U.S. plans to target Iran’s critical infrastructure.
Trump's deadline demanding Iran open the strait has been postponed multiple times, and during a nationwide address last week, he hinted the strait would “naturally open” once the conflict ends.
However, the near-total closure of the strait, a passage for about 20% of the world’s oil, has caused oil prices to soar. CNN surveys show this war is largely unpopular among Americans, despite Trump’s repeated claims it might end within weeks.
