Donald Trump threatened Iran with the destruction of its energy infrastructure In an interview, he stated that the U.S. could carry out such strikes on Tehran and other regions that the country's recovery would be nearly impossible. He clarified that an attack on the power grid could destroy the entire system within an hour, and it would take Iran 25 years to rebuild it. Trump added that the U.S. does not want to take such measures but emphasized that if the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues, Iran could face more severe consequences, including the destruction of the state itself.
