US President Donald Trump on Sunday called the Democratic Party "the greatest enemy America has," after claiming that "Iran was dead."

"Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the radical left, highly incompetent, Democrat Party," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

In a later post, Trump attacked Texas Democrats James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett, who were facing off to be the state's democratic nominee for the Senate race. Trump called Talarico the "worst candidate I have ever seen," and claimed Crockett had a "low IQ."

He also said that California's governor Gavin Newsom (whom he frequently calls Gavin Newscum) gave "the worst ever given by a professional politician."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries addressed Trump's statements, saying the President should "keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed.”

Speaking with CNN, Jeffries warned that Trump's accusation could bring further violence into the US political arena.

According to a January report by the US Capitol Police, cited by Politico, there were over 5,000 more threats against members of Congress, their families, staff, and the Capitol complex in 2025 than in 2024.

Before saying the Iranian regime "was dead," Trump warned on Monday that if Iran didn't fully open the Strait of Hormuz in 48 hours, then the US would destroy Iran's power plants.

"If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS," Trump wrote.

In a response to Trump's statements, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which is the central headquarters of the Iranian armed forces, said that it will fully close the Strait of Hormuz if "America's threats regarding Iran's power plants are implemented."

Iran also warned that it would start targeting "all power plants, energy infrastructure, and information technology," while any company in the region with American shareholders would also become a target.
