President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States would strike Iran’s power plants if Tehran does not “FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT” the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, according to posts on Truth Social.
In one post, Trump said the United States would “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power infrastructure, starting with what he described as the country’s biggest plant, if the waterway is not reopened within the deadline he set.
In a separate Truth Social post, Trump claimed the United States had dealt a devastating blow to Iran and said the country’s leadership, navy and air force had been effectively neutralized. He did not provide evidence for those claims in the material provided.
Trump also said Iran wanted a deal, but added that he did not. In the same post, he criticized New York Times journalist David Sanger and the newspaper’s coverage of his handling of the conflict.
