Trump Promises To Bomb Iran Back To The Stone Ages Over Next Three Weeks
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump said the U.S. is close to ending its war in Iran but plans to bomb it for two to three weeks.
- •The U.S. threatened to bomb all Iranian power plants and oil fields to pressure Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- •Mediators communicated U.S. interest in a ceasefire in exchange for reopening the Strait, but a darker scenario remains possible.
In an exclusive primetime spectacle worthy of its own reality show, President Trump declared the U.S. is 'close' to ending its war with Iran, but only after spending two to three weeks bombing the country back to the Stone Ages—whatever that means in 2024. The plan? Cripple every power plant and oil field, targeting the civilian infrastructure while threatening to throw the global economy into a Hormuz-shaped dumpster fire. Mediators relay U.S. interest in a ceasefire if Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump also floated a dark 'what-if' scenario: keeping it closed and bombing the lights out of Iran’s civilian areas. No pressure, just threatening to turn Iran’s oil wealth into a smoking ruin before perhaps calling it quits.
