On Easter Sunday morning, April 5, 2026, President Trump posted an expletive-laden ultimatum on Truth Social threatening to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened by Tuesday, writing "Open the F***in' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell" and signing off "Praise be to Allah." The post drew condemnation from across the political spectrum, with former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene declaring Trump "has gone insane" and Senator Bernie Sanders calling it "the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual."
