Trump Declares 'Death of Iran,' Threatens Power-Plant Strikes, Orders ICE to Airports

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the rhetoric, signaling resistance to a reported $200 billion war funding push.

Overview

  • In a Sunday Truth Social post, the president declared the “death of Iran” and labeled Democrats “the greatest enemy America has.”
  • He warned Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face U.S. strikes to “obliterate” power plants, starting with the largest.
  • Trump said he told ICE to “GET READY” to operate at U.S. airports beginning Monday, asserting the agency would step in on airport security.
  • Jeffries urged Trump to “keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed,” criticized the war strategy and costs, and said Democrats plan a war powers resolution.
  • Reports said the Pentagon is seeking roughly $200 billion more for the conflict, as outlets and analysts questioned the claim that Iran has been defeated and noted violent online reactions from some supporters.
