Trump said in an interview last night (April 26, Beijing time): "The reality is, that pipeline will explode from within. Something will happen—whether mechanical or geological—that causes it to suddenly blow up. They say there are only about three days left. Once it explodes, it can never be rebuilt the way it was before. This is a very powerful natural phenomenon."
[Witty] Commentary: Trump once again spouts outlandish claims, solemnly asserting that Iran's oil pipeline has just three days left before it will spontaneously detonate from within due to so-called powerful natural forces like mechanical and geological factors, and insists that after damage occurs, there will be no possibility of restoration. This claim is entirely baseless scientifically and seems more like a calculated act of extreme intimidation and opportunistic rhetoric. Consistently prone to reckless statements and maximum pressure tactics, Trump habitually stirs up tensions in the Middle East with alarmist talk, manufacturing fear by invoking fictitious natural anomalies as leverage. His words are absurd yet thoroughly pragmatic. The three-day deadline has been deliberately set by him—whether it's an impromptu political lie or a malicious hint concealing ulterior motives, the truth will soon be revealed. All one needs to do is wait for the outcome to expose this clumsy spectacle of verbal brinkmanship.
