U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to attack Iran’s civilian energy infrastructure, including power plants, oil fields, and the strategic Kharg Island. According to Al Jazeera, Trump issued the warning in a social media post on March 30, 2026, stating that if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz quickly and reach an agreement, the United States will take tougher measures.
In his message, Trump claimed that significant progress had been made but warned that if a deal was not finalized soon and the Strait of Hormuz was not immediately opened for business, the U.S. would destroy Iran’s power generation centers, oil wells, and Kharg Island completely. The post reflects escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran over control of the vital maritime route.
The report did not include any official response from Iran or other international actors, leaving the potential diplomatic and security consequences of Trump’s threat uncertain.
