WASHINGTON — Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a sharply worded warning to Iran in a social media post, demanding the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and threatening consequences if it is not done.
In the post, Trump used explicit and aggressive language, telling Iranian authorities to “open the … Strait” and warning they would be “living in Hell” if they failed to comply. He also referred to upcoming events in Iran, describing Tuesday as “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day.”
The remarks come at a time of escalating tensions in the region, where the Strait of Hormuz remains a critical route for global oil shipments. Any disruption to the waterway has the potential to impact international energy markets and regional stability.
