Donald Trump announced that the US is ready to destroy power plants, oil wells and the island of Khark in Iran. This will be a response to Iran's actions against US soldiers if a deal is not reached.
Trump's statement
US President Donald Trump has said that if Iran rejects the deal, the US could destroy key facilities of the country's energy infrastructure. According to him, these are power plants, oil wells and the strategic island of Khark.
Trump stressed that this would be a response to Iran's actions against the US military. He believes that Iran is unlikely to agree to the proposed deal.
Possible consequences
If the threats are carried out, they may be targeted:
- all power plants in Iran;
- oil wells;
- Khark Island is a key oil export terminal.
Such actions could lead to large-scale destruction of the country's energy and oil infrastructure. At the same time, this could affect the situation on global energy markets.
Context.
The island of Khark is Iran's main export terminal, through which most of its oil supplies pass. Relations between the US and Iran remain tense due to a number of incidents involving the military of both countries.
This is not the first time Trump has made tough statements about Iran, demanding that the terms of the deal be met.
