President Donald Trump said the United States will target Iran’s power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened in an expletive-filled social media post. On his Truth Social page, President Trump said: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!”He continued: “Open the f***in’ Strait, you crazy b******, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!”The President finished his Easter Sunday post with: “Praise be to Allah.”

In an interview with Fox News, the President said a deal with Iran is possible by Monday, and that Tehran officials were negotiating.He added that current negotiators on the Iranian side have been granted limited amnesty.However, the President said he ideally will take Iranian oil if Tehran is unwilling to make an agreement. The war in Iran continues to spread chaos across the region and roil financial markets, raising the pressure on President Trump to find a quick resolution to the conflict.Last week, a deadly US air strike on a major suspension bridge near Tehran, which the UN’s humanitarian relief chief Tom Fletcher said constituted a breach of international law.Former British diplomat Mr Fletcher told the BBC: “You don’t hit civilian infrastructure. That includes hospitals. You don’t hit schools, you don’t hit energy sources, you don’t hit bridges. Those are war crimes.”The war has entered its sixth week with little sign of progress in diplomatic efforts for a resolution.Efforts brokered by Pakistan to bring the two sides to an agreement have so far been fruitless, with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi saying Tehran demanded a permanent halt to the US and Israeli campaign.LATEST DEVELOPMENTS FROM IRAN:Donald Trump ‘underestimated Iranian capability’, foreign policy expert warns – ‘There’ll be much more fire and fury!’Missing American pilot RESCUED after ‘heavy firefight’ with Iranian forcesTwo demonstrators arrested outside RAF base during peace protest against Iran warOn Sunday, in response to Israeli attacks on petrochemical sites in Iran, Iran hit petrochemicals plants in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi, where damage was reported after falling debris from an air defence interception ignited three fires at a plant operated by the Borouge group.The strikes followed similar attacks on oil facilities, a major aluminium plant and petrochemical sites in recent days and the Revolutionary Guards warned that more would follow if civilian targets in Iran were hit.Meanwhile, US special forces rescued a downed airman in Iran in a complex operation that averted a potential crisis for the White House. The airman, the weapons officer of an F-15 jet shot down on Friday, was wounded but “will be just fine”, President Trump said in a message on X posted by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The pilot of the aircraft was rescued on Friday.The loss of the F-15 last week, as well as an A-10 ground-attack aircraft, which came down in a separate incident, underlined the risks still facing US and Israeli aircrew despite President Trump’s assertions that Iran’s air defences have been largely destroyed.A Washington official told reporters US forces had to destroy at least one of the aircraft used in the rescue mission because it had malfunctioned.However, many details of what occurred in the operation remained unclear.
