Iran's culture minister on Sunday dismissed US President Donald Trump's latest threats, calling him an "unstable, delusional figure."

"Iranian society generally does not pay attention to his statements, as it believes he lacks personal, behavioral, and verbal balance, and constantly shifts between contradictory positions," Sayed Reza Salihi-Amiri told The Associated Press in an interview.

Trump said Sunday he would strike Iran's power plants and bridges this Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to marine traffic. 

In an expletive-laden post, Trump promised the Iranians would be "living in Hell" if the waterway isn't opened.

"It seems Trump has become a phenomenon that neither Iranians nor Americans are able to fully analyze," said Salihi-Amiri.

He added that the Strait of Hormuz is "open to the world but closed to Iran's enemies."
