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.

    I feel like this would be a net win for the world. Everyone in the old empire is shooting themselves in the dick right now. If Iran stops the flow of oil, countries are going to be forced to very, very, very quickly invest heavily in renewables more than they already are.

    This idiot may have single handedly put a dent in global warming.
