Trump has learned nothing: After lying about opening the Strait of Hormuz, the president is back to threatening Iran’s power plants and bridges

Donald Trump spent Friday crowing on Truth Social that the Strait of Hormuz was “fully open and ready for full passage.” On Saturday, the IRGC (Iran’s military wing) closed it again and cited the ongoing blockade as the reason. Trump, predictably, is back to making the same threats all over again.

By Sunday morning, Revolutionary Guard gunboats were firing on a British freighter and a French vessel transiting the strait. And by Sunday afternoon, Trump was back on Truth Social threatening to “knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran,” signing off with “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY.”
