WASHINGTON, April 5 (Xinhua) - U.S. President Trump once again demanded on April 5 that Iran open the Strait of Hormuz and threatened that if they do not do so, Iran will "live in hell". Trump posted on social media, saying, "April 7 will be Iran's power plant day and bridge day," implying a fierce bombing of Iran's power plants and bridges. He also said, "Open that damn strait, otherwise you will live in hell - just watch!" On April 4, Trump posted on social media, demanding Iran to "reach an agreement" or "open the Strait of Hormuz" before April 6, and threatened that "time is running out - only 48 hours until all disasters fall upon them." Iran's Armed Forces Commander of the Central Headquarters, Abdurrahman Hatami Anbia, responded that day, emphasizing that the Iranian military will firmly defend national rights, protect national assets, and make aggressors pay the price.
