On Sunday, U.S. President Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, “Tuesday in Iran will be 'Power Plant Day' and 'Bridge Day'—combined into one! Absolutely unprecedented!!! Open the damn strait already, you crazy ZA ZHONGs, or you’ll be going straight to hell—just wait and see! Praise Allah!”

On Saturday, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Remember when I gave Iran ten days—either reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz? Time is running out—hell will descend upon them in just 48 hours. Glory be to God!” Earlier, on March 26, Trump announced that, “at the request of the Iranian government,” he had delayed the “destruction” operation targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure by ten days, extending the deadline to 8 p.m. EDT on April 6.

Earlier on Sunday, Trump said via the same social platform: “We rescued a severely injured, extremely brave F-15 fighter pilot crew/officer from deep inside Iran’s mountains. The Iranian military deployed massive forces in a tight search and were closing in. He is a highly respected colonel. Such raid operations are rarely attempted due to the immense danger to personnel and equipment. This kind of thing simply doesn’t happen! A second raid followed immediately after the first—one we pulled off in broad daylight, rescuing the pilot while flying over Iran for seven hours. Everyone displayed incredible courage and skill!”
