Iran will completely shut the strategic Strait of Hormuz if Trump executes threats to target Iranian energy facilities, the country’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement on Sunday.
Trump on Saturday threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if Tehran did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48-hours, suggesting a significant escalation barely a day after he talked about “winding down” the war, now in its fourth week.
In their Sunday statement Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also said companies with U.S. shares will be ‘completely destroyed’, if Iranian energy facilities were targeted by Washington and energy facilities in countries that host U.S. bases will be ‘lawful’ targets.


You’re literally cheering for what you view as set of political upsides to war, and when I point out the rest of it, you get defensive.
I wonder why.
I think this wondering you’re doing is the root cause of your problem.
You’ve come up with an idea that I think there’s any political upsides to war based on some assumption that I haven’t quite figured out yet.
You’ve come up with an entire “rest of it” which doesn’t really follow anything presented in the original post.
Your “gotcha” moment doesn’t exist and is aimed at someone deeply saddened and angered by this pointless war.
I appreciate you think that you have a point, and that it’s coherent, but you don’t, and it’s not.
