Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref condemned a reported strike on Sharif University, calling it a “symbol of Trump’s madness and ignorance,” according to BBC Persian. He said the use of “bunker-buster bombs” showed a failure to understand that Iran’s scientific capabilities cannot be destroyed by military force.

Aref said parts of the university were hit and sustained damage. The claims could not be independently verified, and there was no immediate U.S. comment.

Parts of Sharif University were targeted by a missile attack last night, and the facility sustained damage.

Trump Warns Iran: Open the Strait or Face “Hell”

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday escalated tensions with Iran, posting on his Truth Social platform that “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” warning Tehran to “open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!” The statement underscores mounting frustration in Washington over Iran’s control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz and comes amid a six-week-old conflict triggered by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, is a critical artery for global energy markets, with roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passing through the passage.

Trump’s post frames a 48-hour ultimatum for Tehran to reopen the strait to international shipping or face potential U.S. strikes targeting critical infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.

US President Donald Trump said Sunday he believes there is a "good chance" of making a deal with Iran on Monday, ahead of his deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face heavy bombing.

"I think there is a good chance tomorrow, they are negotiating now," the president told a Fox News journalist.

"If they don't make a deal and fast, I'm considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil," he added.

U.S. President Donald Trump posted a controversial warning on Truth Social, threatening military action against Iranian infrastructure if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. In his post, Trump wrote:

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!" adding, "or you’ll be living in Hell—JUST WATCH!”

The U.S. President’s post appeared to target Iran’s power plants and bridges, signaling potential escalation over the strategic waterway that handles roughly one-fifth of the world’s seaborne oil. 

Trump concluded his post with the words: “Praise be to Allah.”
