Trump issues new threat to Iran after foul-mouthed early morning rant

President Donald Trump has issued a new threat to Iran, promising to 'blow everything up and take over the oil' if the country does not make a deal with the US soon. 

During a phone call with Fox News' chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst on Sunday morning, Trump told him he is considering taking far more drastic measures. 

'If they don't reach a deal - and soon - I'm considering blowing everything up and taking control of the oil,' Trump said, according to Yingst.

Trump's latest threat comes just hours after he issued a foul-mouthed ran on social media, bizarrely ending the post with the phrase: 'Praise be to Allah.'

He wrote in a Truth Social post early on Easter Sunday morning: 'Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. 

'There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy b*****ds, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.' 

The commander-in-chief said Iran has until Tuesday at 8pm to accept the offer, he shared to Truth Social on Sunday afternoon. 

The President's threat to turn the country into a living hell comes just days after US-Israeli air strikes destroyed Iran's tallest bridge, killing eight people. 

His latest messages was also shared just hours after US special forces rescued two F15 airmen who got trapped behind enemy lines as the war rages on. 

The B1 bridge, which links Iran's capital with the western city of Karaj, was targeted in two waves of strikes on Thursday after Trump said he would bomb Tehran 'back to the Stone Age'. 

The second attack on the 136-metre structure took place while rescue forces were at the scene helping at least 95 injured people, Iranian state media claimed. 

Now, Trump said Iran's power plants will be bombed next if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. 

The narrow and vital waterway that is used as a high-volume shipping route has been closed since the war broke out on February 28, with Iran vowing to block 'enemy' ships from getting through ever since. 

After rescuing the two airmen, one of whom was left stranded for nearly two days, US troops had to destroy two of their own planes as they completed the daring rescue mission.  

The airman, alongside a pilot, had been in an F-15 fighter jet, which was shot down over a remote area of Iran on Friday. 

The pilot had safely ejected and was rescued by two military helicopters the same day, but the second crew member had remained missing.

The missing crew member, who President Trump said was a highly respected Colonel, evaded pursuing Iranians for almost two days while Reaper drones overhead protected him from danger.

Armed with only a handgun to protect him and injured from his ejection from the F-15, the Colonel hid from danger before making a daring dash to the rescue site.

The complex rescue mission involved hundreds of special forces personnel along with several dozen warplanes and helicopters.

A firefight broke out on the ground as Iranian forces closed in on the stricken colonel.

As they made the extraction, two of the five rescue planes became stuck in a remote airfield inside Iran and were blown up by special forces to avoid being captured by the enemy.

Trump touted the operation late Saturday night as 'one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History'.

He was spotted for the first time in days heading back into the White House after visiting Trump National Golf Club on Sunday. 

Before that, he was holed up in the White House, 'working nonstop' during the holiday weekend as tensions continue to escalate, White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a X post on Saturday.

On Wednesday when he visited the Supreme Court as it heard a birthright citizenship case. Later that night, he delivered an address to the nation on the war with Iran. 

During the US airmen rescue mission, Iranian forces had been deceived after the CIA spread the word that US forces had already found the colonel.

The colonel was forced to hide and evade capture for a nerve-racking 36 hours, deep inside Iranian territory in harsh terrain.

According to Axios, the colonel had been injured during ejection from the F-15 jet but remained mobile as he hid in the mountains.

Iranians had been offered a $60,000 bounty for the pilot’s 'head', as the regime urged locals near the crash site to seize the American.

Bombs and weapons were fired from US warplanes to keep Iranian troops away from the stranded colonel.

At one point, he reached elevations of around 7,000 feet as he sought to evade capture from Iranian forces.

As US forces closed in on the stranded officer, a firefight broke out with Iranian troops.

Three rescue planes flew out of Iran to Kuwait, and the mission was completed just before midnight.

Iranian state media claimed that the IRGC and police forces had destroyed the US C-130 military aircraft, which had flown into their airspace to rescue the colonel.

However, US officials said the aircraft became stuck in the sand on the runway and had to deploy three additional aircraft to complete the evacuation.

The two stranded aircrafts were destroyed to prevent them from falling into IRGC hands, sources told The New York Times.

An MH-6 Little Bird helicopter was also destroyed after it was damaged before evacuation, according to reports.

Iranian sources said hundreds of soldiers and Basij fighters who tried to interfere with the rescue operation were 'neutralized' by American special forces.

President Trump confirmed that the colonel was injured but will be 'just fine', as he celebrated snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

He said this was the first time in military memory that two US Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in 'Enemy Territory', as he defiantly said that no American warfighter would ever be left behind.

He said dozens of aircrafts armed with 'the most lethal weapons in the World' were sent by the US military to retrieve him.

'This brave warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour,' Trump added in a Truth Social post.

According to Fox News, the rescue mission's success was partly thanks to a 'deception campaign' launched by the CIA inside Iran.

The intelligence agency spread the word that US forces had already found the colonel and were moving him, which confused Iranian forces.

The airman ejected from an F-15E fighter jet along with the aircraft's pilot in the early hours of Friday, sparking a frantic two-day search operation that culminated in a fierce firefight.

Trump said the aircraft's pilot was secretly rescued hours after the crash, but that operation was kept quiet to not 'jeopardize our second rescue operation'.

He added that both operations were concluded 'without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded'.

Iranian media reported five people were killed in strikes during the US rescue operation.
