"Trump's post stated, '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 bast**ds, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.'"
"The ongoing conflict has seen Iran using mines and drones to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global oil and food prices and Trump's approval ratings."
"Threatening to intentionally attack civilian infrastructure is considered a war crime under international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions."
"Commenters noted that if politicians like Obama or Mamdani made similar religious references, it would likely provoke outrage from right-wing conservatives."
Trump's social media post on Easter included threats to Iran and a controversial religious reference. He urged the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, crucial for global oil transport. His comments come amid a 36-day illegal war he initiated with Israel, which has led to increased oil and food prices and declining approval ratings. Threatening civilian infrastructure is classified as a war crime under international law. Reactions suggest a double standard in political responses to religious references by different leaders.
