"This complete f---ing lunatic really thinks Iran gives a s--- about his stark raving mad social media posts." [View all]
Trump threatened military retaliation if the country interferes with oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
"If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far," Trump wrote in his post, adding: "Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!"
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil trade.
Critics were left aghast at the rhetoric.
Independent journalist Aaron Rupar wrote on X, "Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage."
The popular X account Polly Sigh wrote, "This complete f---ing lunatic really thinks Iran gives a s--- about his stark raving mad social media posts."
