President Donald Trump directed a profanity-laced message to Iran on Sunday, signaling the U.S. will target the regime's power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.
"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran," Trump's post read. "There will be nothing like it!!!"
"Open the F----- Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!" Trump directly addressed Iran's leaders. "Praise be to Allah."
Iran has hampered passage through the narrow waterway, which is crucial for the global oil trade, since the onset of the war to use as one of its bargaining chips. Iranian interference in the strait has significantly impaired the movement of oil tankers through the waterway, causing global oil prices to rise.
Trump's latest message shows the president is hardening his threats to strike Iran's critical infrastructure if Tehran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his Monday deadline.
On Saturday, Trump posted a reminder to Iran about his 10-day deadline to reopen the strait, writing, "Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them."
The president has previously issued such threats before extending them when mediators have claimed progress toward ending the war on agreeable terms.
Trump earlier announced that he would be holding a press conference at the White House on Monday alongside members of the military.
