US President Donald Trump issued a sharp military warning against Iran, saying the United States could destroy the country within a single day. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that US forces could target Iran’s energy infrastructure, including power plants. He also defended his proposed blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, arguing that Iran cannot decide which ships are allowed to pass. Trump added that all ships would have safe passage, or none would.

He compared the planned blockade to the US sanctions on Venezuela but said it would be on a much larger scale, suggesting it could increase oil shipments to the United States. The comments followed the failure of US-Iran talks in Pakistan, where disputes centered on Iran’s nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump’s remarks have further heightened tensions in the Middle East, raising fears of potential military confrontation despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.
