Donald Trump has vowed to destroy Iran in an expletive-laden social media post, which he bizarrely ended with the phrase: ‘Praise be to Allah.’
He wrote in a Truth Social early on Easter Sunday morning: ‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.
‘There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy b*****ds, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.’
The president’s threat comes just days after US-Israeli air strikes destroyed Iran’s tallest bridge, killing eight people.
The B1 bridge, which links Iran’s capital with the western city of Karaj, was targeted in two waves of strikes on Thursday after Trump said he would bomb Tehran ‘back to the ‘Stone Age’.
The second attack on the 136-metre structure took place while rescue forces were at the scene helping at least 95 injured people, Iranian state media claimed.
Now, Trump said he Iran’s power plants will be bombed next is the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.
This is a breaking news story.

The latest comes after US special forces rescued two F15 airmen who got trapped behind enemy lines as the war rages on.
They has to destroy two of their own planes as they completed the daring rescue mission.
The airman, alongside a pilot, had been in an F-15 fighter jet which was shot down over a remote area of Iran on Friday.
The pilot had safely ejected and was rescued by two military helicopters the same day, but the second crew member had remained missing.
The missing crew member, who President Trump said was a highly respected Colonel, evaded pursuing Iranians for almost two days while Reaper drones overhead protected him from danger.
Armed with only a handgun to protect him and injured from his ejection from the F-15, the Colonel hid from danger before making a daring dash to the rescue site.
The complex rescue mission involved hundreds of special forces personnel along with several dozen warplanes and helicopters.
A firefight broke out on the ground as Iranian forces closed in on the stricken colonel.
