President Donald Trump escalated threats against Iran’s infrastructure, warning of severe consequences if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, in an expletive-laden social media post on Easter morning.

In a phone interview with Axios, President Trump stated that the United States is involved in intense negotiations with Iran, asserting that a deal could be finalized by Tuesday. If no agreement is reached, Trump warned he would 'blow up everything,' specifically threatening to bomb Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, particularly if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz.

US President Donald Trump said in an expletive-laden social media post on Sunday that the United States will target Iran's power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.

This article analyzes the contrast between the intelligence failures leading up to the Iraq War in 2003 and the intelligence handling before the 2026 U.S. war with Iran.
