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

Don't confuse MAGA with America First, they're black and white

How so? Both terms describe Trump policies.

 

[kyzr]

Evidently Trump & Hegseth are the only people on the planet who didn't know that Iran has said they'd close the Strait in this situation for the last four decades or so. Maybe they shouldn't have fired everyone in the Pentagon and State if they didn't wear the red cap.

Maybe Obama shouldn't have given Iran $56,000,000,000 to develop nukes and ICBMs?

Who is Ira?

Don't know him.

There's another deadline in play.

The economy has a Strait of Hormuz deadline for Trump: Two weeks​

With oil prices at levels not seen in years and global business supply chains across sectors of the economy shut down by the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz, faith in the C-suite that the worst isn’t yet to come is being tested. On Friday, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said he is planning for $175 oil, and for an oil price that remains above $100 through 2027. This forecast, he said, may not come to pass, but the airline CEO added that there is every reason to at least start planning for it as a potential reality.
Corporate executives have become accustomed in recent years to a world in which it is one new form of uncertainty after another. But the potential ramifications of the U.S.-Iran war, for which President Donald Trump has continued to offer uncertain timelines for ending, has the market and many inside the C-suite on edge. The Nasdaq entered a correction on Friday, a fourth consecutive negative week for the stock market, and it is not just risk-on assets but safe havens such as gold and bonds that are falling.

If Iran doesn't open the strait tomorrow, and Trump destroys Iran's powerplants, 2-weeks is enough time for Iran to see the light.

Iran threatens to ‘completely’ close Strait of Hormuz and hit power plants after Trump’s ultimatum

 

[DGS49]

The customary philosophy of war is in question here. Normally, you attack your enemy until he cannot stand it any more. But the Iranian "God Mafia" also called the IRGC, is insulated from reality, so they don't give a **** about the privations of the peons.

TIme will tell. Hopefully, not too much time.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It sure is too bad our economy is so affected by the global price of oil.

Too bad there are no other ideas for power out there. Too bad we don't have an entire industry working hard to improve that. Too bad any other energy ideas besides oil and dirty energy are summarily dismissed, attacked and mocked for entirely ignorant, ideological reasons.

So what is your solution? Mushroom clouds for everyone?

 

[Zavulon]

I don't think we'd allow that.

As if anybody going to ask you. And you don't control Caspian sea.

I wouldn't say smaller than Russia's ladder.
Let's say big enough to end any war.

And on what step will you turn back and accept your defeat?

That would be the end of Iran then

Really? With anemic two hundred of tactical nukes to be delivered by F-35?

Anyway, if both Iran and Israel destroyed and you are running out of tactical nukes, and Russia still has thousands of them, Russia and China will establish total control over Middle East.
Both Russia and China are more interested in gas and oil, rather than in indigenous people.

Her. "Ira" is short form of "Irina" - "Furious".

more Trump bloviating bs

Trump figured it would be a good idea to put a huge ultimatum on a bunch of murderous theocratic psychos who are in an existential battle for their lives.

Okay, sure.

After all, what could go wrong! And Trump is playing 37-dimensional chess 'n stuff! And plus, he's got a very big brain and the best words!

 

[Rambunctious]

Blocking the straight is an act of war bomb the shit out of them...

How many of them are still breathing and not hiding in a bunker somewhere?

 

[Zavulon]

How many of them are still breathing and not hiding in a bunker somewhere?

92 million.

 

[Mac1958]

92 million.

Yep. They've been preparing for this for decades, and they have a clear, deep, wide, multi-tiered succession system in place and functioning. Most of the world knows this. Just like most of the world knew that they'd shut down the Strait if they felt their existence were threatened.

No, but we control the sky.

And on what step will you turn back and accept your defeat?

That step doesn't exist.

Really? With anemic two hundred of tactical nukes to be delivered by F-35?

You are the one who always thinks the enemy will surrender before more nukes are used.
If Iran pulled a nuke out of their a$$ and nuked Israel, how many Iranian cities would get nuked?
10? 20? Iran would cease to exist.

Anyway, if both Iran and Israel are destroyed and you are running out of tactical nukes, and Russia still has thousands of them, Russia and China will establish total control over Middle East. Both Russia and China are more interested in gas and oil, rather than in indigenous people.

We have 3,500 warheads. More than enough to destroy any country and the planet.
Remember, scientists say more than 100 total nuclear detonations ends civilization.
Russia is busy in Ukraine, and China has other domestic problems to deal with.
The US wants to get Iran out of the nuclear terror business, it may take some time, patience is a virtue.

'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!!

I think there is more to this than meets the eye. Many of Iran's Republican Guard are holed up around power plants and maybe this is the way to flush them out for killing, without having to actually bomb the power plants.

I read schools too.

Imagine that......

Perhaps we don't need bombs to shut down Iran's power plants.
