Donald Trump posted a graphic threat to Iran on Truth Social, telling them to open the Strait of Hormuz or face hell, and included a “praise be to Allah” remark. Targeting civilian infrastructure would constitute war crimes.

He’s literally gone stark, raving mad. And shame on those around him, just laughing like bloody hyenas instead of dealing with him.
