>Tehran has threatened to escalate strikes on energy infrastructure and target critical water desalination facilities, should President Donald Trump make good on a promise to “obliterate” the country’s power plants if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
>“If Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked, then fuel, energy, information technology systems and desalination infrastructure used by America and the regime in the region will be struck,” Col. Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters, warned on Sunday, according to the IRNA Iranian state news agency.

Trump’s legacy is war, child molestation, theft, and the isolation of our country from it’s allies.

This is the kind of thing that happens when you start a war based on hunches and vibes, without any kind of planning.
If there was any kind of plan on Trump’s part, it was vague to the point of uselessness. I suspect it was something like, “Take out a few leaders and bomb some places, and the Iranian people will overthrow the government and install a western friendly regime.”

Obviously.
It’s exactly what they want.
Why can’t he understand this?
And if he’s destroying the world economy on purpose, why isn’t anyone in the US govt or opposition or legislature stopping him?

How can you not cheer for Iran in this case . Shove those missiles up trumps ass !

This essentialy means that entire middle east will be in the dark on top of losing water.
So you will have thousands of possible deaths on top of millions who will have to relocate.
Gulf states will basically die.

Trump doesnt seem to understand that the regime does not care about the people. Making is harder for the people has little impact on the regime they are simply not going to care about the threat other than people getting bombed are not going to like the US.

Sounds like that’s their goal, for the Middle East to destroy its own energy security

Escalating rhetoric around critical infrastructure raises concerns about broader regional and economic fallout.

What’s the point of giving sovereign countries public ultimatums on social media ? No country will ever bow to such. You approach discretely through trusted third parties

Pretty much to be expected.
As long as Iran’s government is not threatened by revolt or invasion, they have a free hand to maximize pain to anyone attacking them.
Iran took care of the revolt threat before the war started. And there’s no credible threat of invasion coming from the US. 5,000 marines that will get to the Persian gulf in about 4 weeks is not a threat at all.
(5,000 US marines just left on for the Gulf… from San Diego. So their ship has to reach the Panama Canal, transit through it. Travel across the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal, down the Red Sea, and then around the Arabian Peninsula. And that’s going to take a while.)

Not to mention that 5,000 Marines, while competent, are a joke if you are planning to invade Iran.

How unsurprising. Trump really has no idea what he is doing, does he. I’d think it was all brilliant satire if it wasn’t so excruciatingly our actual reality.

…. really…. it’s like…. they have decided to fight back or something….
Perhaps Trump thought Iran Epstien Island and got confused…

It seems fitting that the unholy Abrahamic trifecta always seems to be lifting it’s 3 heads whenever shit starts to crumble. Theatre comes in many forms, sometimes we laugh sometimes we cry. In this case, the emotions are cheap and the plot is predictable. 1 star.

When you say ‘obliterate’ over and over again it tends to lose it’s effect. And may be a sign you have dementia.

Yes im sure iranian leadership is worried about suppling power to its constituents, the same regime known to murder and rape women for not wearing a cloth on their head. Idk my guess is cutting power to the people wouldn’t bother them that much.

I guess my question is at what point do the GCC states that have been getting hit the last 3 weeks switch from ‘defensive’ to ‘offensive’ mode?
Right now the threat vaguely says Iran will attack enemy infrastructure. Is the GCC just going to sit back and watch?
