Trump says U.S. will destroy Iran’s oil wells, Kharg Island without deal to 'immediately' reopen Hormuz Strait

U.S. President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will "completely" obliterate Iran's electric generating plants, oil wells and Kharg Island if the Strait of Hormuz is not "immediately" reopened and a peace deal is not reached "shortly."

"The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran," he said in a post on Truth Social on Monday morning.

"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.""
