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.
“Stop making a oil crisis or we’ll make it even worse!”
Stop making an oil crisis (that we started) or we will continue to make it even worse
What even was the official objective of this war in the first place
To facilitate the Greater Israel Project
To facilitate US Imperialism’s and Israel’s greater domination of the region.
No joke but to bring about the biblical end times, Trump is just a useful idiot to the folks with money and bad intentions.
our war objective is to do whatever israel tells us to do.
This mother fucker is going to get us all killed.
“obliterate”, like how he “obliterated” the Iranian’s nuclear capabilities last June?
So I should expect they’ll be producing at full capacity again in 8 months then? Is that how this works?
Most of the middle east will be in the dark, energy production and distribution from the gulf will be set back for decades, and this will effect the whole world. Israel and US probably counting on dragging Europe kicking and screaming into this war to stop the complete failure of the US.
Fucking idiots.
Again, going after civilian infrastructure targets rather than military ones. And who gets the contract to rebuild this infrastructure? This douche bag is gonna start a world war because him and his friends will get rich building the bombs, using the bombs, and rebuilding the shit they themselves have blown up. Blown up for the sole reason to make a lot of really rich people even richer. We are all so fucked… Humans, man.
It’s not humans that are the problem, it’s specific individuals that are the problem. Basically it’s like 12 people.
Nah, it’s power that’s the problem, it goes to your head. The species has a problem with sharing and caring. Not all of us, true. But a whole lot of us, yes.
strength doesn’t need threats, pussy.
We obliterate nuclear enrichment sites so hard they come back online mere weeks later. No one obliterates like us.
The US seems to want us to be extremely focused on one small part of their war - the Strait of Hormuz. It’s all they ever harp on about.
What’s the situation across the rest of the theatre? How close is the US to accomplishing it’s primary war goals?
Why do they suspiciously want us to ignore everything else and focus on this one international shipping transit lane?
I think it’s quite simple, the blockade is causing oil prices to spike which is seemingly the only thing the public in the US actually considers a problem about the whole war. Opening the strait would stop that and would allow them the continue without getting absolutely destroyed in the midterms.
very putin-like of him. impotent dictators outclassed by the problems they caused and pretending they have been fighting a war with one hand tied behind their back and unless they are able to give orders to their enemies they will unleash their true power is one of the most pathetic things.
You cant escalate if you are already at war and already committing war crimes.
Can’t wait for TACO Tuesday
Guess I‘ll hold off watching news and quietly enjoy the little pre WW3 peace time I have.
So when questioned about boots on the ground or why other nations weren’t told about the attack, we get the “why would I tell you that? Are you a stupid person”?
Social media: WE WILL ASPLOAD ALL YOUR POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE LARGEST.
Makes sense.
Which will cause a refuge crisis and destabilize the whole area even more.
😅😅
