United States President Donald Trump threatens to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if it doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
So far, the U.S. has refrained from targeting infrastructure in Iran amid fears of such a step’s impact on the global economy.
The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most critical maritime chokepoint, with roughly one-fifth of global oil consumption passing through. The waterway serves as the primary gateway for energy exports from major producers like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps previously warned that any ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz would be attacked, and the waterway has effectively been closed since the start of the American-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic, with many vessels hit by Iranian fire there and in nearby waters.
Responding to Trump’s latest warning, Iran renewed its threat to infrastructure in the region, including even water desalination plants.
“Following previous warnings, if Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is violated by the enemy, all energy, information technology and desalination infrastructure belonging to the U.S. and the regime in the region will be targeted,” the Iranian military’s operational command Khatam Al-Anbiya said in a statement carried by the semi-official Fars news agency.
Iran has already demonstrated its ability to hit infrastructure, not just in neighboring countries, but also in Israel, which has better air defenses.
Taking the Iranian threat into account, the U.S. may not hit power plants directly, but rather attempt to take down the Islamic Republic’s electrical grid in a more calculated way.
The U.S. could use a graphite bomb, a non-lethal weapon especially designed to disable an electrical grid without causing much damage.
One example of such weapon is the CBU-94 Blackout Bomb, which consists of a SUU-66/B tactical munitions dispenser with 202 BLU-114/B submunitions
The bomb works by spreading a dense cloud of extremely fine, chemically treated carbon filaments over air-insulated high voltage installations like transformers and power lines, causing short-circuits and subsequent disruption of the electricity supply in an area, a region or even an entire small country.
CBU-94s were successfully used to take down more than 70% of Serbia’s electricity supply during NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

While such bombs are non-lethal and don’t cause much damage, taking down the electrical grid could be extremely harmful to civilians as it would effectively shut down critical life-support infrastructure, including hospitals and water desalination plants.
Based on this, even a limited calculated move by the U.S. against Iranian infrastructure will likely still result in a response from the Islamic Republic.

we will bomb the goatfuckers back into the stone age…heheheh

your daughter lives in my harem…heheheh
after observing ugly obese masculinized animal americunt female it obvious that goat better to fukk
this is only happening because the alawites and pussians are traitors. i don’t mean to call them pigs, because then it would be right to apologize to the pigs in the pigsty. alawites and pussians are not rats, because rats are quite solidary.
what the alawites and the pussians did to iran and hezbollah can only be compared to the mosatan seeds. indian farmers committed suicide because of monasatan seeds. alawites and pussians are monsatan seeds.
iran saw the alavites as expendable pawns and then descided the attack on isreal to support hamas is more important then the entire shiite crescent and sacrificed it for a symbolic war. the only mistake the alevites ever did was to trust iran and russia and not try to make a deal with the usa.
and the gulf states and israel will then join them.
we fucked your chuck norris. he got dealt with in an israhelli bunker while he try to make you a sibling.
you are just a kid in your deepest puberty. all you knowledge about sex is the neighbours dachshund ramming your leg.
take out all the desalination plants of the jooz and their gulf whores. the gulf quislings can go back to goat herding. the jooz can go back to fiddling on the roof. or they can go to hell if they want.
i hope iranian missiles make their way to your unit8200 bombshelter and wipe it from the face of the earth along with you zogbot trolls.
i am penetrate all south front anu5!
heheheh
he doesn’t have it. these are artificially created gmo plants that don’t eat with their mouths and their haven’t their ass. the alawites and the russians were thus able to betray their main ally, iran, because they have no feelings. even monsatan seeds and crops have no emotions. they have no solidarity, only greed. there is nothing useful about them, just like there is nothing useful about monsanto’s crops and seeds, just waste. pussians and alawites are something that must cease to exist.
never trust a russian!
it looks like the “powerful” shitrael is getting pounded and david’s plastic sling is on vacation. ussa unable to regime change iran. poor bastids. now trumpstein dumpstein is an angry boy

americunt ugly female bigger diek than americunt male—proven by scientific studies
it would be nice if isis-k took control of syria first because it would embarrass trump’s maga and putin’s russia to such an extent that at best the democrats would run us for twenty years.if it meant the destruction and dismemberment of traitorous russia, even better. but it would be best if newsom made bombenteppich through moscow and all the traitorous alawites (bashar al-assad is the biggest traitor) would pay for their betrayal of their allies iran and hezbollah.
somebody please stop this man
if trump and netanyahu had not tried to help janez janša win the elections in slovenia, janša could have been declared the election winn in six hours. if janša loses the election, it will be because netanyahu and trump helped him. for two years, janša’s sds had a ten percent lead over the second-place svoboda party. when netanyahu and trump wanted to help janša win, the sds began to rapidly lose support. the same will happen with our afd. because of trump, the afd will die.
southfront is a u.s, propoganda website. one way you can tell is by how they censor, or don’t censor, their site. they remove truth posts and allow posts that have no purpose but to inflame and are nothing but filth.
imho americunt is americunt inferior species that swallows hebrew jizz
the entire internet is american its not the side itself but the comment software that does this everywhere.
shitstain americunts fuk goats and ugly obese americunt females which are dumber uglier than goats

i doubt iran will view “a more calculated attack” any differently than a direct attack.
the gulf will be a joo and amerikunt free zone.
a tsunami is about to hit the whole planet …… thanks to the lying, thieving jooz.
the only thng that needs obliberating is israel and jewish power they need to be removed from power and the zionist colonial project needs to be ended.
well i have bad news. once the european union and the usa have fallen and brics takes over you will realise the same people who were once behind the west are behind brics. you will serve them from the first day of your life to the last work to pay your taxes to them so they can enjoy the most luxurious life.
pay the governments who will protect them and allow them to have their little islands where they do illegal things.
chumpo has a 100% approval rating, according to cnn. kim jong-un only got 99.3% recently.
iran has targeted diego garcia, 4,000 km. away. ramstein in germany is in range.this should be the next target – force the amerikunts to disperse their missile defences. it doesn’t matter how much damage is done – just the threat is enough.
they did it in other wars on day one so whats special with it?
