Trump threatens to “obliterate” Iran’s power supplies as fuel prices soar | BBC News
Donald Trump has threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants, oil wells and “possibly” its water desalination plants, if a deal is not reached shortly.
The US President again insisted that “serious discussions” with Iran were under way and said “great progress” was being made, but warned that if a ceasefire is not agreed the US would destroy civilian infrastructure that on which millions of people depend.
Iran repeated its claims that no direct talks were taking place, and described US terms for an end to hostilities as “excessive and unreasonable”.
The price of oil has soared again, after reports that the US may be considering launching ground operations against Iran. There is speculation that US forces could attempt to seize Kharg island, the critical oil terminal which handles most of Iran’s energy exports.

He is openly threatening to commit a war crime and it would raise global energy prices to a never before seen level. Thank you, to all those who voted for him.
trump is a moron.
The great thing is when trump obliterates something, is that it can be quickly built back better.
He literally bragged oil/gas was never as “valueable” under Biden🤦♂️
That would make all other oil shocks in history look like a little inconvenience.
The stupidity of Americans voting him in.
Even if the strait was reopened tomorrow the damage would still be catastrophic.
A daily obliteration, what else is new.
None of this matters, all you need to know about any of this is as follows:
Hogan is going to escape the Iron Shieks camel clutch and end up giving him a leg drop then a pin.
He can't let Bibi do all the war crimes
Google global Crypto fossil fuel cabal
….I guess everyone cares about the Iranian regime killing protesters until the price of petrol goes up by 30p a litre.
War Criminal.
that was the talk of a true leader
Anybody else think trump is too cock sure of himself, just like when covid was happening warp speed sh1t and all that.
What is happening now is already planned to send us all back to 1700s.
They are all in on it, every government and eastern governments.
You’ll see soon enough.
Erm Trump also said about bombing Irans desalination plants, destroying lives of the Iranians whom he claims to care about….
I enjoy all this chaos!
You all deserve it
Trump is making Oil prices Great Again !!!
The bumbling inconsistent irresponsible irrational flip-flopping Donald Trump tries to run faster than the US army in the Middle East war.
I remember when the FIFA peace prize meant something
Mad man at the wheel? God help this world.
And Iran said they didn’t bomb Kuwait’s desalination plant nor sent missiles towards Turkey so make of that what you will…
So basically its monday.
Just shows we need to get off oil
dRumps actions have brought down America's credibility.
It has, more importantly, affected the price of gas world wide.
A single person with his finger on the pulse of the world?
There is something very wrong with that truth.
GOP needs to stop this maniac NOW!
