Trump issues fresh threat against Iran for breaking ceasefire after they fired bullets in Strait of Hormuz: ‘No more Mr Nice guy!’

Donald Trump made a new threat to Iran, claiming that it broke the ceasefire by firing bullets at European ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The president warned that he would order the US military to ‘destroy every power plant and every bridge’ in Iran if they reject the next peace deal.

Trump, 79, sent representatives to Pakistan for negotiations on the Middle East conflict, which escalated when the United States began combat operations in Iran on February 28.

Writing on Truth Social on Sunday, he said that Iran had ‘decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz’ at a French ship and a freighter from the UK.

Trump called this a “complete violation” of the two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran declared on April 8, and then made a new threat.

“We are offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL and I hope they accept it because if they don’t the USA will disable every Power Plant and every Bridge in Iran,” Trump wrote.

‘THERE IS NO MORE MR. NICE MAN! They will fall quickly, they will fall easily, and if they do not accept the DEAL, it will be my honor to do to Iran what other presidents have had to do to Iran for the last 47 years.

‘IT IS TIME TO END THE IRANIAN DEATH MACHINE!’

Writing on Truth Social on Sunday, President Donald Trump said Iran ‘decided to fire bullets at a French ship and a cargo ship coming from England in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.’

As the ceasefire expires on Wednesday, it is unclear which American negotiators will be sent to Islamabad, Pakistan, for the next round of talks on Monday.

As mediators push to extend the ceasefire, Iran has doubled down on its pledge to restrict ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz as long as the US blockade of Iranian ports continues.

The dueling blockades have complicated Pakistan-led mediation attempts and raised questions about whether the two-week ceasefire can be extended.

“It is impossible for others to pass through the Strait of Hormuz while we cannot pass,” Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagir Qalibaf said in an interview broadcast on state television late Saturday. he said.

Qalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator in talks with the US, criticized the US blockade as a ‘naive decision based on ignorance’.

Despite deep distrust of the United States, Iran still seeks peace, he said.

‘There will be no retreat in the field of diplomacy,’ he said, acknowledging that the gap between the two sides remained wide.

Iran announced that the strait had been reopened after the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon came into force on Friday.

But after US President Donald Trump said the US blockade of Iranian ports ‘will remain in full force’ until Tehran reaches an agreement with the US.

Iran said it would continue to enforce restrictions in the strait.

After a short-term increase in crossing attempts on Saturday, ships in the Persian Gulf remained cautious and maintained their positions as two Indian-flagged ships were fired upon in the middle of the passage and had to turn back.

Their withdrawal would return the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil trade normally passes, to the status quo before the ceasefire, threatening to deepen the global energy crisis and push the sides into renewed conflict.

The closure of the strait, which was implemented after the USA and Israel started the war on February 28 during talks about Tehran’s nuclear program, is perhaps the most powerful weapon for Iran, threatening the world economy and causing political pain to Trump.

For the United States, the blockade squeezes Iran’s already weak economy and puts pressure on the government by hindering its long-term cash flow.
