Trump vows to cripple Iran’s energy grid if a ceasefire isn’t reached quickly

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump, in a Truth Social post, threatened to destroy Iran’s electric generating plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island (and possibly desalinization facilities) if Tehran does not accept a ceasefire soon, even as he touts diplomatic talks. The remarks come amid a widening conflict with Iran and its allies, with fears of broader regional escalation and a spike in oil prices, while experts warn such strikes could violate international law and constitute war crimes.
