After weeks of the Iranian mullahs choking off the global economy by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump has officially laid down the law.
In a series of Truth Social posts this Easter Sunday, the Commander-in-Chief set a definitive “drop-dead” deadline for the Islamic Republic to cease its hostilities or face a military response.
Trump wrote:
“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. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
In a follow-up post, he hammered the deadline home: “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!”

As The Gateway Pundit has reported for weeks, Trump first issued a blistering 48-hour ultimatum back on March 21, vowing to obliterate Iran’s power plants, starting with the biggest ones, if the Strait wasn’t opened “FULLY, WITHOUT THREAT.”
When the mullahs begged for more time, Trump graciously extended the deadline by 10 days to Monday, April 6 at 8 P.M. ET. Iran responded by playing games, selectively letting a few tankers through while still choking global oil supplies and driving prices through the roof.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to deliver a final, bone-chilling warning to the radical mullahs in Tehran: Open the Strait of Hormuz now, or face total annihilation.

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!” Trump wrote.
The regime has already felt the heat. Trump has posted videos of Iran’s biggest bridges being reduced to rubble. He’s made clear the U.S. is bringing them “back to the Stone Ages” if necessary.
And just last night, American forces pulled off a miraculous Easter rescue of the second downed F-15 pilot deep inside Iran after an intense firefight.

Will Iran finally open the Strait before Tuesday night, or will “Power Plant Day” arrive?
On Sunday, Trump not only confirmed that he would blow everything up, but would perhaps take over the oil as well.
But the president also appeared optimistic about an agreement, saying it could happen as soon as tomorrow. Moreover, he said the people negotiating for Iran have been given amnesty to continue these talks.
