Trump’s foul-mouthed tirade warning Iran of coming deadline | BBC News

US President Donald Trump has issued an expletive filled threat against Iran if the Strait of Hormuz is not re-opened to shipping.

He is threatening to destroy Iran’s infrastructure, including power stations and bridges, acts that human rights organisations are warning would amount to war crimes. Trump reiterated his previous threat to unleash “hell” on Iran if it did not meet his deadline.

Earlier, he announced that a US airman missing in Iran, after his F-15 fighter jet was shot down, had been rescued in a daring military operation. The pilot had already been rescued by US forces.

  1. I can imagine if we could take today’s BBC back in time they’d be against fighting the Austrian Painter too. Pathetic. Do better bbc.

  2. So a madman rant admitting more planned civilian war crimes! Invoke 25th amendment!!! Trump & Hegseth two lunatic sociopaths at the helm!

  3. In any other situation, you’d just assume the account has been hacked, no way any sane person let alone president could write this nonsense and share it with the world. But here we are… 😅

  4. Ah TACO wittle feelings hurt. Iran won't take him seriously. What are Tuesdays known for in America? TACOS 😂😂

  5. I seriously think he has lost his mind. Too much pressure. He impulsively started this war, with complete arrogance, now he must pay the price. His legacy is now in tatters.
