Will the US destroy Iranian power plants?

“A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalised minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. Forty-seven years of extortion, corruption, and death will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to strike Iranian power plants, bridges, and other elements of critical infrastructure. Iran faces an American ultimatum: accept US conditions, abandon its nuclear program, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz—or face the destruction of its entire infrastructure. According to the American plan, within four hours after the ultimatum expires, every Iranian bridge and power plant would be destroyed.

The status of negotiations between Iran and the United States remains unclear. The American side reports that the Iranians are withdrawing from the talks, while simultaneously claiming that Iran is negotiating in good faith and that discussions aimed at ending the conflict are progressing promisingly.

Earlier, on April 7, Israel warned Iranian citizens against using trains. The Israel Defence Forces were ordered to “continue attacks with full force on the infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime.” In response, the Iranian side suspended train operations. Attacks on the railway bridge in central Iran and the highway overpass in the northwestern part of the country have already been confirmed.

It remains unclear whether Donald Trump will decide to launch large-scale attacks on Iran’s critical infrastructure. Many of these strikes could bear the hallmarks of war crimes. It should also be noted that the current ultimatum is not the first instance of such conditions being set—the deadline has already been extended three times.
