President Trump has issued threats against Iran's infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by Tuesday.
President Donald Trump is escalating threats against Iran 's infrastructure if it doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The president has extended this deadline multiple times for Iran to reopen the strait.
He first gave a 48-hour deadline on March 21, that was then extended by five days on March 23, and 10 days on March 26. He now appears to be giving Iran until 8 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday for an agreement to reopen the strait.In a post on social media, the president vowed to hit Iran's power plants and bridges. The message contained several expletives, while saying the country will be 'living in Hell' if the Strait of Hormuz isn't reopened.Iran's parliament speaker called Trump's new threats 'reckless,' adding, 'The only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending this dangerous game.'Meanwhile, many Democrats like Sen. Tim Kaine, of Virginia, are criticizing the administration's rhetoric, even calling the war 'illegal.''This is all embarrassing and juvenile, and it's people trying to act like they're puffed up and tough when what we really see from the administration in this war is the absence of a plan,' said Kaine.'For Tim Kaine or any other Democrat to say this is illegal, especially after so many Democrats, including Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, supported Barack Obama's seven-month war in Libya, is just hypocritical at best,' said Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y.The president is scheduled to speak with the press Monday afternoon about the Tuesday deadline. He'll likely also detail what went into the rescue mission of two American service members whose jet was shot down in Iran. The first member was rescued Friday and the second on Saturday. The jet was downed on Thursday.Trump said Sunday the second airman was rescued while hiding deep in the mountains. He also added the crew member is 'seriously wounded,' but will recover. This was a daring mission because Iran was promising a reward for anyone who found the 'enemy pilot.'Keep watching for the latest from the Washington News Bureau:
