US President Donald Trump has issued an expletive filled threat against Iran if the Strait of Hormuz is not re-opened to shipping.

He is threatening to destroy Iran’s infrastructure, including power stations and bridges, acts that human rights organisations are warning would amount to war crimes. Trump reiterated his previous threat to unleash “hell” on Iran if it did not meet his deadline.

Earlier, he announced that a US airman missing in Iran, after his F-15 fighter jet was shot down, had been rescued in a daring military operation. The pilot had already been rescued by US forces.
