“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! Praise be to Allah,” Trump said on Truth Social, the microblogging platform owned by him.
The warning came as Iran showed no signs of backing down, continuing strikes on economic and infrastructure targets across parts of the Middle East. Tehran has maintained pressure around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping chokepoint for oil and gas, prompting repeated U.S. threats of military escalation.

Trump had earlier warned that the United States would unleash “all hell” if the waterway was not reopened by a set deadline, a pattern consistent with previous ultimatums that have been extended amid ongoing diplomatic efforts.
The latest remarks also followed Trump’s announcement that U.S. special forces had rescued a service member missing inside Iran after the downing of an F-15E Strike Eagle. He described the operation as a rare and highly dangerous mission conducted deep inside Iranian territory.
“We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 crew member from deep inside the mountains of Iran,” Trump said in a separate post, adding that Iranian forces were actively searching for the pilot at the time of extraction. He said the airman, identified as a senior officer, was injured but in stable condition.
According to U.S. accounts, the rescue involved multiple aircraft and extended operations over Iranian territory, including a follow-up mission after an initial daylight extraction attempt. A second crew member had been recovered earlier.
The incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, which began after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February. The downing of the F-15E was among the first confirmed losses of a U.S. combat aircraft in Iranian territory during the current hostilities.
Meanwhile, Iran has issued its own warnings. A senior Iranian commander, Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi, said that any attack on the country’s infrastructure would trigger severe retaliation, warning that “the doors of hell will be opened” against U.S. forces and their regional assets.
The Strait of Hormuz remains central to the standoff. As one of the world’s most critical energy transit routes, any disruption has immediate global economic implications, driving volatility in oil markets and raising concerns among major importing nations.
With both Washington and Tehran issuing stark warnings, the situation continues to escalate, with military confrontation and information warfare unfolding in parallel.
