Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated sharply, with Donald Trump issuing strong warnings targeting Iran’s key power infrastructure. Reports suggest potential US focus on major plants like Damavand, Shahid Salimi, Shahid Rajaee, and the critical Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, raising fears of severe consequences, including radiation risks if attacked. The conflict has turned into a war of threats, with the US warning of massive destruction if no deal is reached, while Iran has vowed strong retaliation and refusal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran emphasized defending its sovereignty at all costs and warned of “hellish consequences” for any aggression. Trump’s aggressive statements have sparked criticism globally and within the US. Leaders like Bernie Sanders have called his remarks dangerous, while others questioned his rhetoric.
