Trump Makes Profanity-Laden Threat to Target Civilian Infrastructure in Iran

Trump said the United States was one day away from securing a peace deal and two days away from potentially “blowing everything up.”

President Donald Trump spent his Easter Sunday posting a series of animated messages about the war with Iran, including a profanity-laden promise to annihilate much of the country’s civilian infrastructure this week if peace talks continue to falter.

He also celebrated the rescue of a missing Air Force officer from “deep inside the mountains of Iran” in his Sunday posts, part of a daring rescue mission that was quickly overshadowed by Trump’s threats.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “Praise be to Allah.”
