Trump says deal will ‘probably’ be reached soon — or else he’ll blow up Iran

President Trump said Monday that a deal with Iran was “probably” close to winding down the conflict — but warned the US would obliterate the regime’s power plants, oil wells, and its main export hub, Kharg Island, if negotiations fell through.

Trump noted, however, that a deal was “probably” close.

“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island.” 

Kharg Island is Iran’s main export hub.

Trump said the US purposefully hadn’t touched the sites after having previously given an April 6 deadline to Iran. Read more and see video here.
