YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIran and the U.S. traded heated rhetoric on social media after President Trump used vulgar language while threatening to target more of Iran's infrastructure if the country's leaders don't reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday.
The official X account for Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations responded that Trump “seeks to drag the region into an endless war.” It added that his threat to target civilian infrastructure showed intent to commit a war crime and urged immediate international intervention. Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy for communications and information in Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's office, posted on X that President Trump had “resorted to obscenities and nonsense out of sheer desperation and anger.” He went on to use similarly insulting language, saying that the strait would open when Iran has been compensated for the cost of this war.
