Meanwhile, dozens were injured by Iranian strikes in Israel, as Tehran targeted a nuclear site.
Donald Trump threatened Iran in a Truth Social post Saturday evening, warning that the U.S. would target the nation’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.
“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, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote in the post.
Approximately 20% of the world’s oil passes through the the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route. Iranian attacks on ships in the area have seen the area essentially close to maritime traffic, while oil prices have soared globally.
We’re at the point both sides could just be waiting for him to wipe Iran off the map before doing anything since can just make Trump the scapegoat and finally get their wished for attack on Iran
At this point, Trump could just nuke Iran and both sides will cope about it being “a necessary measure to save lives from a ground invasion”. The US has no inhibitions left anymore.
Dems will complain he didn’t let then vote on it while also saying he had no choice 😑😞🙃
