Trump warns of strikes on Iran energy infrastructure if Hormuz not reopened
US President Donald Trump warned that Washington could target Iran’s key infrastructure if a deal is not reached and the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump said, “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!).”
He added, “The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made.”
Trump said the sites had not yet been targeted and described the potential strikes as retaliation, adding they would 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.’”
