Trump threatens Iran with attacks on infrastructure if Hormuz Strait is not opened by April 7

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Iran until April 7, warning that if the Hormuz Strait is not opened, he will target critical infrastructure such as power plants and bridges in Iran.

Trump declared April 7 as 'Power Plant Day' and 'Bridge Day' on his Truth Social account, suggesting he is prepared to focus on the everyday life and economy in Iran to compel compliance. He stated that Tuesday in Iran would be 'Power Plant Day' and 'Bridge Day,' emphasizing that this has never happened before. He further expressed that Iran should open the Strait, warning that otherwise, they would face dire consequences.

The Hormuz Strait is a vital maritime route for the global economy, with nearly 20 percent of the world's crude oil passing through it. Since the onset of conflict in February 2026, Iran has tightened its control over this route, disrupting oil supplies worldwide and causing prices to surge. Trump's call to 'open it' serves as a final warning to resolve this global crisis.

Previously, Trump had extended deadlines after issuing threats, initially giving Iran just 48 hours on March 21, then extending it by 10 days on March 26, citing positive discussions through mediators regarding peace talks and postponing potential attacks on energy plants until April 6. Now, through this latest post on April 5, Trump has once again threatened Iran to open the Hormuz Strait.
