Trump Threatens to Destroy Iran Power Plants, Oil Wells, and Kharg Island if No Deal Reached

US President Donald Trump on Monday (March 30, 2026) posted a message on Truth Social again warning that if a deal is not reached with the "new and more rational government" of Iran, he will destroy all of Iran's power plants, oil wells, Kharg Island, and desalination plants. Trump wrote: "The United States of America is in serious negotiations with a new and more rational regime to end our military operations in Iran. Great progress has been made, but if for any reason a deal is not reached in the near future, which will probably happen, and if the Strait of Hormuz is not immediately 'opened for trade', we will end our beloved 'stay' in Iran by blowing up and completely destroying all power plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalination plants!) which we have deliberately 'not touched' yet. This will be in retaliation for our many soldiers and others whom Iran has slaughtered and killed during 47 years of 'reign of terror' by the former regime."
