Trump's new Social Media Iran Fatwa: "Stop swingin' the bat. Put the bat down, Ayatollah. Ayatollah? Give me the bat." [View all]

Trump had already moved his own deadline for striking Iran’s power grid back to April 6, citing progress in negotiations—but his latest threat suggested those talks were teetering again.

“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Trump wrote. “Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached...and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!).”

He added that any such strikes would be “in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed.”

Trump’s claim to be dealing with a “new” Iranian regime refers to the leadership vacuum created by U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of senior officials in the opening days of the war.
