U.S. and Iran trade strikes as Trump threatens their power grid
So, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz just went from a tense maritime standoff to complete midnight fireworks, and now Donald Trump is threatening to play SimCity disaster mode on Iran.
The U.S. and Iran are basically trading nightly missile strikes like angry neighbors throwing lawn chairs over the fence. CENTCOM just wrapped up a massive seven-hour bombing run on Iranian naval and drone sites. Meanwhile, Iran's IRGC claims they clobbered American assets in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Everyone is shooting, sirens are going off, and the world's most critical oil shipping lane is a total mess.
But the real kicker is the negotiation strategy. Trump hopped on Fox News and casually announced that if the Iranian government doesn't sit down and talk, the U.S. military is going to start blowing up civilian power plants and bridges next week. He literally promised to knock them all out unless they negotiate. It is like trying to settle a dispute by promising to delete the other guy's entire save file.
Threatening to plunge millions of civilians into darkness as a casual opening offer is certainly one way to handle international diplomacy.
