Trump said Iran has until Tuesday evening to open this sea route or face attacks on its critical infrastructure. He gave this information to ‘Wall Street Journal’ In an interview given to.

Trump said that if Iran does not do anything by Tuesday evening, it will have neither any power plant left nor any bridge safe. Trump later wrote in a post on social media, ‘Tuesday, 8:00 pm Eastern Time (Wednesday morning Indian time)’. Earlier in another post on Sunday, Trump had warned of attacks on infrastructure, but he did not give any specific time. Now he has fixed the time for Tuesday night at 8 pm.
Threat of attack on Iran’s power plants and bridges

He said, “If the Strait of Hormuz is not opened, America will attack Iran’s power plants and bridges.” Trump further wrote, ‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day in Iran. Both will happen on the same day. This would have never been seen before.” Trump wrote in very strong language, “Open the waterways, otherwise you will live in hell, just keep watching!”
