【Trump vows to hammer Iran over the weekend, or he's a dog】 Starting today, Iran is evacuating civilian aircraft from Mehrabad Airport in Tehran’s capital. They are preparing for the weekend attack threatened by Trump. Figure 1

The United States and Israel plan one of the most intense bombing campaigns yet against Iran’s energy infrastructure, with the offensive scheduled for this weekend.

The plan was proposed during a cabinet meeting at Camp David by Trump, where discussions focused on cutting off Tehran’s electricity supply. Figures 2 & 3

Tehran has a population of 10 million—imagine the consequences if power were suddenly cut off.

The U.S. military has repeatedly signaled its intent to heavily strike Iran—no action means you’re a dog; even a minor strike makes you a dog too.

Months ago, when discussing an attack on Iran, Trump said he didn’t believe there would be any worsening consequences, since Iran had almost no retaliation previously, and its navy and air force had essentially disappeared.

Now, his stance is: “Crush Iran within two weeks.” He expresses concern that the danger lies in Iran being able to destroy Gulf infrastructure!

When Iran strikes these facilities in Gulf countries, the U.S. will be powerless to protect them.

If Iranians successfully prove, and expose, the myth that "U.S. bases can guarantee protection," it would be a historic achievement.

Because if the U.S. cannot ensure Gulf nations are safe from Iranian retaliation during conflict, American credibility will suffer. Allies will increasingly diversify their security partnerships instead of relying solely on the U.S.

Naturally, America’s influence in the Middle East will gradually diminish.

Now, Iran is willing to endure the cost of being bombed—even including its capital, Tehran—in order to fulfill America’s expectations.

To be honest, a city of 10 million people has nowhere to hide.

If the U.S. conducts indiscriminate bombing on Tehran, that isn’t war—it’s a war crime, war crime.

Previously, NATO and the U.S. have targeted energy infrastructure, such as in Iraq (1991, 2003) and Kosovo (1999). Under international humanitarian law, civilian objects are protected—but if they are effectively used for military purposes, they may lose this protection due to dual-use justification.

Iranis shouldn’t expect justice from an international court—justice won’t come, not even a thought.

Just focus on what needs to be done right now: When Gulf nations suffer attacks, make them blame themselves—for counting on U.S. and Israeli protection, which ultimately destroyed their own countries.

Where does Iran’s strength come from?

Khamenei’s calmness has led both Israel and the U.S. to underestimate Iran. But that same calmness has also prepared Iran thoroughly for this decisive confrontation.

Calming strength.

That said, Trump’s penchant for recklessness mustn’t be underestimated either. The weekend strike could unfold in three possible ways:

1. Precision assassination strikes targeting figures like Mojtaba, aiming to end Iran’s resistance against the U.S. This requires highly accurate intelligence.

2. Symbolic low-impact strikes, allowing Trump to claim victory.

3. Trump boasts on Friday afternoon to pressure Iran, then offers a completely different narrative before Monday’s market opens.
