Trump threatens obliteration of Iran’s energy grid if deal isn’t reached
The Washington Examiner reports that former President Donald Trump threatened to obliterate Iran’s energy infrastructure if a peace deal isn’t reached with a “new regime.” The piece notes that the United States has so far spared strikes on key targets like Kharg Island’s oil facilities, which handle a large portion of Iran’s oil, butould change if a deal is not promptly reached and if Iran does not open the Strait of hormuz. Trump described in a Truth Social post that discussions are ongoing with a new regime to end U.S. military operations in Iran,but warned that failure to settle a deal and to keep Hormuz open would lead to the destruction of Iran’s electric generating plants,oil wells,Kharg Island,and possibly desalination plants,as retaliation for American soldiers’ deaths.

Trump threatens obliteration of Iran’s energy grid if new deal isn’t reached with ‘new regime’
President Donald Trump vowed on Monday to wipe out Iran’s prized energy infrastructure if it does not agree to Washington’s peace proposal.
The United States has thus far spared military strikes on Kharg Island‘s oil infrastructure, which is the distribution point for 90% of Iran’s oil, and other key energy targets. Trump said that would soon change if a deal is not “shortly reached” and if Iran fails to open up the Strait of Hormuz, as the country continues to publicly downplay peace negotiations.
“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social.
“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched,’” he continued. “This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year ‘Reign of Terror.’”
