US President Donald Trump, in ⁠an expletive-laden Easter Sunday social media post, threatened ​to target Iran’s power plants and bridges ​on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.

When asked by Reuters about Trump’s remarks, Kremlin ​spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that ​Russia had seen them but that the Kremlin preferred ‌not ⁠to comment directly.

“We note that the level of tension in the region is growing and continues to grow,” Peskov said.

“In fact, the ​entire region ​is on ⁠fire. These are all very dangerous and negative consequences of the ​aggression that was unleashed against Iran.”

“The ​geography ⁠of this conflict has expanded, and now we are all aware of the consequences that ⁠we ​have, including very, very negative ​consequences for the global economy.”
