US President Donald Trump has faced criticism after posting a message on Truth Social early on Easter Sunday, 5 April 2026, threatening action against Iran and ending with the phrase 'Praise be to Allah.' The warning referenced potential strikes on infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened, adding to tensions during an already unstable period in the region.
Trump wrote that Tuesday would be 'Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day' in Iran, adding the country would be 'living in Hell' if the waterway remained closed. The message included profanity directed at Iranian authorities, intensifying the tone of the threat at a time of heightened geopolitical sensitivity.
