Trump again threatens widespread destruction in Iran if a deal is not reached soon

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening widespread destruction of Iran’s energy resources and other vital infrastructure, potentially including desalination plants that supply drinking water. Trump leveled the threats Monday, saying the U.S. would strike if a deal to end the war is not reached “shortly.” Iran, meanwhile, struck a key water and electrical plant in Kuwait, and an oil refinery in Israel came under attack. A drone hit a Kuwaiti oil tanker in Dubai waters, causing a fire. Israel and the U.S. launched a new wave of strikes on Iran, as the war raged with no end in sight.

#Trump also said that #Iran had agreed to allow 20 ships carrying #oil through the #StraitOfHormuz starting Monday morning & continuing over the next few days “out of a sign of respect” [I’m sure, that’s why 🤨].

“I would only say that we’re doing extremely well in that negotiation but you never know with Iran because we negotiate with them & then we always have to blow them up,” he said.
