Donald Trump announced on April 5 on the Truth Social social network on the occasion of Catholic and Protestant Easter that he plans to carry out a large-scale bombing of Iran, including bridges and power plants, next Tuesday if his ultimatum is not met. In his message, he used insulting words and the phrase "Praise be to Allah" ("alhamdulillah").
The US has been conducting the "Epic Fury" air operation against Iran for more than a month. On Saturday, the White House leader issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Tehran, demanding the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz for merchant ships. Iran had previously restricted movement through this important waterway in the Middle East in response to military actions by the US and Israel. One-fifth of global energy resource trade is carried out through this strait.
"Tuesday will be the Day of Power Plants and Bridges for Iran. Open this damned strait, or you'll live in hell - be careful. Praise be to Allah," Trump wrote (insulting words were used in the text).
Al Jazeera reports that Tehran previously called Trump's ultimatum and threats "weak, nervous, unbalanced, and foolish" actions. This opinion was expressed by the head of the central headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces "Khatam al-Anbiya," General Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi.
The military official added that if civilian infrastructure is attacked, Tehran will also open "hell gates" for the US.
