Trump Declares Tuesday 'Power Plant and Bridge Day', Iran Not Invited
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump threatened Iran with attacks on power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed by Tuesday.
- •Oil prices climbed with Brent crude nearing $110 and WTI hitting $115 per barrel following the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran.
- •The war’s impact raised US gas prices above $4 per gallon and caused airlines to cancel flights due to soaring jet fuel costs.
In a masterclass of keyboard diplomacy, President Donald Trump blasted Iran on Sunday with a profanity-spiked ultimatum demanding the Strait of Hormuz reopen by Tuesday or face Air Force demolition special: bridge and power plant blowouts. The 1/5th-of-world's-oil highway's closure has boosted Brent crude nearly to $110 per barrel and WTI up 3% to $115, while US drivers choking on $4+ gas curse everything except their increasingly expensive groceries. Jet fuel zoomed to $195 by March end, pushing airlines toward the ancient art of flight cancellations. Meanwhile, Trump’s cryptic Truth Social sign-off tossed in 'Praise be to Allah,' as if Google Translate was hijacked mid-tweet.

(1 of 3)When your foreign policy reads like a leaky DMV memo and oil prices sprint as if someone kicked off the starting pistol, maybe stop threatening entire countries with bridge blow-ups and try something resembling diplomacy.
The only thing closing harder than the Strait of Hormuz is the credibility account of anyone demanding it open by Tuesday with swearwords.
Iran's strategic 'fun fact': blocking global oil flow turns out to mess with gas prices, jet fuel, and basically your last vacation plan.
