Trump issues profanity‑laced easter warning to Iran, ends with ‘Praise Be to Allah’

U.S. President Donald Trump took aim at Iran in a fiery Easter Sunday message, warning the country about the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments. The message, posted on his social media platform Truth Social, included strong language and unusual religious references.

In his post, Trump, 79, threatened Iran, saying, “Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy b——s, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH.” He also referenced Iranian infrastructure, calling the upcoming Tuesday “Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one.” Surprisingly, he concluded the post with the phrase, “Praise be to Allah,” despite previously identifying as a non-denominational Christian.

Trump’s remarks come as the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, which began on February 28, continues. The conflict has put global oil prices under pressure, as the Strait of Hormuz remains a critical waterway for the oil industry. International leaders are calling for an end to the fighting, but Trump has so far maintained his tough stance.

On April 4, Trump reminded Iran that a deadline he set for negotiations was approaching. “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out,” he wrote. He warned that in 48 hours, “all Hell will reign down on them.”

Earlier, on April 1, Trump spoke to the nation about the war, claiming that U.S. forces had crippled Iran’s military. He stated that Iran’s Navy and Air Force were largely destroyed and that its missile systems were either used up or defeated. He framed these actions as efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, calling the approach “less radical” and “more reasonable” than regime change.

Despite the aggressive rhetoric, Trump did not specify the exact terms of any deal that might prevent further U.S. attacks. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded in an open letter, emphasizing that the choice between confrontation and engagement is “both real and consequential.” Iran’s foreign ministry also denied pursuing a ceasefire.

Trump’s Easter message highlights the ongoing tensions and the potential for escalation, as the world closely watches developments in the Strait of Hormuz and the broader Iran conflict.
