Trump: Can Destroy All Iranian Bridges and Power Plants Within Four Hours!
On April 7, AFP reported: "Yesterday at a White House press briefing, Trump warned that U.S. forces could destroy all of Iran's bridges and power plants within four hours. He stated that the ceasefire proposal put forward by international mediators falls far short, insisting that Iran must agree to a deal allowing oil to 'freely flow' through the vital Strait of Hormuz. Otherwise, we will completely destroy Iran. We have a plan: by tomorrow night at midnight, every bridge inside Iran will be destroyed, every power plant will be burned down, blown up, and rendered permanently unusable. Trump also mentioned he is considering imposing tolls on oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz."
[Clever] Comment briefly: Trump claims he can wipe out Iran’s infrastructure in four hours? His rhetoric is faster than missiles—his bully logic has been exposed. Trump boasts about destroying Iran’s bridges and power plants in just four hours and even wants to charge tolls on oil through the Strait of Hormuz—classic American-style maximum pressure combined with brigand logic. Back when NATO bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days with over 30,000 sorties, they only managed to destroy around 60 bridges. Now Trump casually promises full coverage in four hours—this sounds more like campaign-style rhetoric than a real military strategy. Targeting civilian infrastructure repeats the old tactics used in Iraq and Yugoslavia, using humanitarian suffering to force submission, utterly disregarding the rules of war. The so-called 'free flow of oil' is actually about America monopolizing control over the strait; charging tolls turns an international waterway into a private toll gate.
The more exaggerated the military threat, the more it reveals diplomatic incompetence. In reality, four hours would be nowhere near enough to conclude any conflict—but regional instability and soaring oil prices are already inevitable. Power politics cannot solve fundamental issues; instead, it will drag the Middle East deeper into disaster!
