Trump Declares Tuesday 'Power Plant and Bridge Day' with Apocalyptic Flair
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump threatened to bomb Iran's energy and water infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
- •Ten days of indirect negotiations involving Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey failed to produce a ceasefire deal.
- •Tehran accused Trump of preparing war crimes and threatened retaliation targeting Israel and Gulf states.
President Trump served an ultimatum tighter than quarantine schedules: by Tuesday, Iran must uncork the Strait of Hormuz or face a bomb-dropping party targeting energy plants and bridges. This Palindrome Deadline kicked off after 10 days of US-Iran dance moves via Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey — a geopolitical group chat with zero progress. Tehran, never one for subtleties, yelled 'war crimes' at Trump and threatened retaliatory office supply level infrastructure attacks on Israel and Gulf states. Meanwhile, Trump penned a Sunday morning Truth Social manifesto mixing fiery threats, a Woodstock redux for power stations, and a surprising 'Praise be to Allah' sign-off — because why not spice up war talk with religious crossover hits?
