Donald Trumphas issued a chilling threat toIran, threatening to destroy "every single power plant and every single bridge" in the country. The US president launched a furious attack after Iran quickly reversed its decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, withshots fired at vessels passing through the vital route.
Writing on Truth Social, Mr Trump raged: "Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced thatthey were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be 'the tough guy!'"
The US president then went onto send a chilling threat to Iran, warning there would be "No more Mr Nice Guy".
He continued: "We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!
"They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years.
"IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
This comes just hours after Iran slammed the US blockade of its ports, calling it a “foolish and stupid decision,” and has demanded it be reversed.

Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, one of Iran’s main negotiators, warned that if the US does not lift the blockade, "traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will definitely be restricted."
In a televised address, the speaker of Iran’s parliament also referred to his decision to reverse the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
