\t\t<\/p>\n Donald Trump<\/strong> started Easter morning by issuing a new, profanity laden threat to Iran amid his war with the Middle Eastern country. <\/p>\n On Sunday (April 5), the 79-year-old president took to social media to make his most inflammatory remarks yet, threatening to send the country to \u201chell\u201d if they refused to open the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is a major transportation point for oil. <\/p>\n His threats come amid alleged ongoing talks with Iranian leaders and after gas prices have skyrocketed<\/a> thanks to the military action in the area. <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n On Truth Social<\/a>, Trump<\/strong> threatened to escalate the United States\u2019 military strikes, saying that he\u2019d target bridges and power plants. <\/p>\n \u201cTuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThere will be nothing like it!!! Open the F\u2014in\u2019 Strait, you crazy b\u2014\u2013ds, or you\u2019ll be living in Hell \u2013 JUST WATCH!\u201d<\/p>\n The president concluded, writing, \u201cPraise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP\u201d<\/p>\n Attacks on a nation\u2019s civilian infrastructure (such as power plants) \u201ccan be considered a war crime under international law,\u201d NBC News<\/a> reported. <\/p>\n Trump <\/strong>has previously threatened similar attacks in the country. However, in late March he announced that he would hold off for several days<\/a>, saying that he\u2019d been speaking with Iranian leaders. Iran consistently implied that the Republican was lying<\/a> about the status of these alleged conversations. <\/p>\n The war in the region started in late February and has now stretched over a month. The president has issued at times confusing and seemingly contradictory messages<\/a> about the status and when he thinks that the U.S. will be able to end the fighting. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
