Trump ultimatum: Open Hormuz in 48-hours or your powerplants will be destroyed. (Poll)

[kyzr]

Trump to Israel: don’t strike Iran energy base, pretty please

Trump to Iran: open the strait or we’ll blow up your energy base

If I had skills I’d do a sticker for gas pumps of Bibi behind Trump pointing up saying “I made him do that”

I saw CNN pull this "ENERGY" stunt this morning too. Conflate oil infrastructure and electrical power as "energy".

CNN had some bogus GOP bimbo who couldn't answer the "energy" question either. Here is the answer:
1. Do not damage the oil infrastructure. Iran will need oil revenue after the war. (more oil means lower prices)
2. Open the strait of Hormuz or the electric powerplants get "obliterated". (no water is no fun)

Two separate "energy" components, oil infrastructure, and powerplants, two very different things, except to the MSM propaganda machine.

'Open Hormuz Or Will Destroy Power Plants': Trump Warns Iran, Tehran Responds​

Trump gives Iran 48-hour ultimatum to reopen Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on power plants

Trump warns Iran it has 48 hours to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz or the U.S. will strike and obliterate its power plants, starting with the largest.

I fully support this ultimatum. Get that oil moving!!

He can't seem to make up his mind.

Trump says he doesn’t want Iran war ceasefire, but is considering ‘winding down’ military ops​

President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday he is not interested in a ceasefire with Iran.

“We could have dialogue, but I don’t want to do a ceasefire,” Trump said from the White House South Lawn before departing for Florida. “You know you don’t do a ceasefire when you’re literally obliterating the other side.”

“They don’t have a navy. They don’t have an air force. They don’t have any equipment,” Trump continued.

In a Truth Social post later Friday afternoon, Trump claimed that the U.S. is “getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East.”

President Donald Trump also said the Strait of Hormuz, "will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it."

U.S. and our Israel colony vs. the rest of the world.
We`ll lose.

But Trump never loses. And he never backs down.

Seems one of those is going to break.

1. Do not damage the oil infrastructure.

What about taking Kharg Island? Do you think Iran's oil facilities there will come out unscathed?

I interpret those statements as "we don't want an immediate ceasefire".
As this thread says, Trump just issued an ultimatum, "open Hormuz in 48-hrs or your powerplants will be obliterated", so we wait

Then they better get used to drinking piss.

Tehran Is Defiant After Trump Threatens Power Plants​

Iran and the United States traded threats over critical energy infrastructure in the Middle East, with Tehran vowing on Sunday to retaliate if President Trump followed through on a warning that he could target Iranian power plants.

Mr. Trump said late Saturday that the United States would “obliterate” the power plants — which millions of Iranians depend on — if Tehran did not fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. The strait, a key oil shipping route, has been choked off by Iranian strikes.

Iran dismissed the ultimatum as it launched a new round of attacks on Israel and issued its own warning. Ebrahim Zolfaghari, an Iranian military spokesman, vowed on Sunday that if Iranian energy sites were attacked, it would strike more infrastructure in the region used by Israel, the United States and American allies, such as fuel depots and desalination plants.

Dotard should have offered to put the terms of the JCPOA back in place and this war could have been avoided.

U.S. and our Israel colony vs. the rest of the world.

The entire Middle East has united against Iran here.

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

So you support Iran having nukes and ICBMs? I don't.

What "rest of the world"? I don't see anyone coming to defend Iran, do you?

Trump said Iran’s nuclear sites were “totally obliterated”. Nothing to worry about.

What magical wellspring do you believe Iran uses to generate the electricity to run their economy?

Take your time

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

Iran is not that difficult.

Agree. This war is a cakewalk!

 

[kyzr]

Kharg island is how Iran sells oil.
We don't want it damaged, but we don't want Iran to sell oil until after a regime change.
If we take Kharg island or not Iran can't sell oil since the US Navy could stop any tankers with Iran oil.
We want Hormuz opened now, or powerplants get destroyed.

 

[berg80]

I interpret those statements as "we don't want an immediate ceasefire".
As this thread says, Trump just issued an ultimatum, "open Hormuz in 48-hrs or your powerplants will be obliterated", so we wait

And Iran has similarly threatened to blow up oil infrastructure in the region. It seems as though until Iran's capacity for any type of retaliation is eliminated the war goes on and the Strait remains closed.

JCPOA was a disaster. It had a time limit of 10-years, which is over, so nothing could stop Iran's nukes....except Trump.
Obama gave Iran $56,000,000,000 to develop nukes and ICBMs, very stupid.

 

[berg80]

We don't want it damaged, but we don't want Iran to sell oil until after a regime change.

Besides the Iranian oil that's already at sea?

They built new ones, duh.

Oh my god. You mean to tell me some of you cultists still think there is going to be regime change?!?

Neither is true.
