Trump's Iran Warning: Power Plants, Bridges at Risk

0:00On April 5th, President Donald Trump dropped a fiery warning on Sunday, giving Iran until Tuesday night to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face U.S. Strikes on their power plants and bridges. He posted it on true social with some strong language, calling it power plant day and bridge day all in one if they don't comply. This comes amid a five-week war after U.S. Commandos rescued a second crew member from a downed F-15E fighter jet in Southwest Iran, wrapping up. A tense two-day search. Trump has pushed back his deadline twice before, as the Strait closure has spiked oil prices worldwide. Iran's parliament speaker hit back hard, saying Trump's reckless moves would make the whole region burn and drag America into hell. On Capitol Hill, Democrats like Chuck Schumer called him an unhinged madman for the rant, especially on Easter, while legal experts warned targeting. A million infrastructure could be war crimes under Geneva conventions.

1:00Things escalated with the U.S. destroying Iran's tallest bridge last Thursday, a $400 million engineering feat that killed 13, and injured 95 picnickers nearby. Iran fired back over the weekend, hitting oil sites in Kuwait and Bahrain with drones, causing fires in big damage, plus Israel struck Lebanon, killing at least 11. Trump hinted at a good chance for a deal Monday through backchannels like Pakistan, but insists Iran needs to get serious fast, or risk more hits. With oil still choked and tensions boiling, the world's watching if words turn to wider destruction.
