US President Donald Trump has warned of sweeping military action against Iran if a deal is not reached quickly, saying he could “blow everything up” and take control of oil assets, according to an interview with Fox News. He also signalled potential strikes on key infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, as tensions escalate. The remarks come amid heightened confrontation between Washington and Tehran, with Iran denying claims of ongoing negotiations.
Trump Signals Escalation
Trump said he is considering drastic action if Iran fails to agree to terms soon. “If they don’t make a deal, and fast, I’m considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil,” he was quoted as saying.
He added that Iran could face widespread infrastructure attacks, stating that “bridges and power plants” across the country could be targeted. Despite the warning, Trump said he believes there is a “good chance” of a deal, even as Iranian officials have rejected claims of active negotiations.
Trump’s Series Of Threats
Earlier on Truth Social, Trump said Tuesday could see attacks targeting power plants and bridges, signalling a potential escalation.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day… Open the Strait or you’ll be living in hell-just watch,” he wrote, using strong language to underline the warning.
Claims On Arms And Protests
In the same interview, Trump claimed that the United States had sent weapons earlier this year to protesters in Iran via Kurdish groups. He said, “We sent them a lot of guns… through the Kurds,” without providing further details on the recipients. He also suggested that the weapons may have been retained by Kurdish groups, raising questions over the claim.
Who Are The Kurds?
The Kurds are an ethnic group spread across Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, with long-standing demands for greater autonomy. Kurdish groups have played significant roles in regional conflicts and political movements.
In Iran, Kurdish communities have periodically taken part in protests over political and economic issues. Trump’s remarks linking Kurdish groups to arms transfers add a further dimension to the ongoing tensions between the US and Iran.
