Trump threatens Iran with "complete destruction of all power plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island," if no agreement is reached.

American President Donald Trump threatened Iran, warning that he would destroy Kharg Island, the main export point for Iranian oil, if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened and negotiations do not yield a quick result.

In a message on Truth Social, Trump stated that the United States is having serious discussions with a new regime in Iran, but emphasized that if a quick agreement is not reached, he will order the destruction of power plants and oil wells in Iran. He also suggested that American troops could occupy Kharg Island to control oil resources. Despite his claims of progress in negotiations, Trump has additionally sent troops to the region, provoking strong reactions from Iranian leaders, who deny holding direct negotiations with the U.S.
