After Mysterious Sign-Off, Trump Warns of Huge Infrastructure Moves

Donald Trump escalated tensions with Iran over the holiday weekend by issuing a strong warning on Truth Social. He declared impatience with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint.

Trump announced plans for military action targeting Iran's infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, in a provocative message on social media. The demand to reopen the strait has been a focal point since hostilities began on February 28.

This move marks the end of a temporary pause on targeting Iran's vital resources to allow for diplomatic negotiations. The negotiating window officially closed on Monday, April 6, increasing pressure on both sides.

Having previously set a deadline for Iran to make a deal or open the strait, Trump's rhetoric has turned increasingly ominous as the deadline approaches. He warned of impending consequences if his demands are not met within 48 hours.
