Trump Threatens Iranian Power Plants and Bridges on Easter, Confirms US Armed Protesters Through Kurdish Channels

On Easter Sunday, former President Donald Trump used strong language on his social media platform, Truth Social, to warn Iran. He stated that if Iran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday, the U.S. will target Iranian power plants and bridges.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trump threatened to strike Iranian power plants and bridges on April 7 if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.
  • The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of global oil supply, putting energy markets at risk during Operation Epic Fury.
  • Trump told Fox News the U.S. sent weapons to Iranian protesters via Kurdish channels, estimating Iran killed 45,000 demonstrators.

Trump Warns Iran on Easter Sunday: Open Strait or Lose Power Plants by Tuesday

The post, published on April 5, 2026, read in full: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.” The post appeared on his official Truth Social account and was immediately picked up by several major media outlets.

The message sets April 7, 2026, as the deadline. If Iran has not cleared the Strait of Hormuz by then, Trump indicated the U.S. military will target Iranian energy and infrastructure.

The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Iran has blocked or severely disrupted shipping through the waterway in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes conducted as part of Operation Epic Fury, a military campaign that began in late February 2026.

Throughout the conflict, Trump had previously set several deadlines for Iran, but they weren’t always fully met. A recent post, published on a Christian holiday and ending with a phrase praising Allah, quickly gained attention due to its strong language and aggressive tone.

Trump: ‘We Sent Guns to the Protesters’

Separately, Trump gave a roughly 15-minute interview to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst around the same time. In that interview, he confirmed the U.S. had covertly sent weapons to anti-regime Iranian protesters earlier in 2026.

Trump told Yingst they had supplied a significant number of weapons to protesters, routing them through Kurdish groups. He believes the Kurds ultimately retained possession of those weapons.

Trump also stated that Iranian security forces killed approximately 45,000 demonstrators during protests that were suppressed earlier this year. The protests were part of broader internal pressure on the Iranian government during the ongoing conflict.

Supplying weapons through Kurdish groups is part of a larger U.S. strategy to undermine the Iranian government. Kurdish forces control land near the Iranian border and have previously helped with logistical support for operations in the area.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated there’s a reasonable possibility of reaching a diplomatic agreement with Iran by April 6th. He also suggested that if a deal isn’t reached soon, the U.S. might resort to military action and seize control of Iran’s oil reserves. Trump also hinted at the possibility of offering limited amnesty to Iranian negotiators.

U.S. and Israeli forces have already struck Iranian naval assets, air force installations, missile sites, and military leadership targets throughout the campaign. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks in addition to the Strait closure.

Sources within Iran suggest the government is facing internal challenges, with reports of high-ranking officials dying and a new president taking power who is allegedly trying to negotiate a truce.

Trump has said attacks will keep happening, or even get worse, until the waterway is completely open for navigation.
