“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F****’ Strait, you crazy b******, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Trump claimed that he was negotiating with Iran’s leaders and there was a “good chance” of a deal by Monday. "If they don't make a deal and fast, I'm considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil," he said.
Trump has made several similar threats to bomb Iran’s power plants, only to postpone or move deadlines after claiming progress in talks with Iranian leaders.
The destruction of power plants could lead to widespread blackouts and impact hospitals, water treatment facilities and food supply chains.
“Running out of language to denounce and condemn. Iranian Civilians will be the first to suffer from the destruction of power plants and bridges. No heat, no electricity, no water, no capacity to move or to flee, and all that it means for their right to life,” she wrote on X in response to the threat.
In the month since, Iran’s counterattacks have struck U.S. bases across the Gulf, strategic Gulf infrastructure, and drastically slowed shipping in the Strait, causing a global shortage of oil and energy supplies, and sending gas prices in the U.S. skyrocketing.
Iran's joint military command repeated that threat on Sunday.
A key advisor to Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, also threatened the closure of another key waterway that connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. Ali Akbar Velayati warned in a social media post on Sunday that Iran could close the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
“If the White House thinks of repeating its stupid mistakes, it will quickly realize that the flow of global energy and trade can be disrupted with a single signal,” he wrote on X.
While Iran has disrupted global markets by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis played a similarly outsized role in upending global shipping between November 2023 and January 2025 when they attacked over 100 merchant vessels in the Red Sea in a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians during the Gaza war.
“The Houthis would cause a much more important impact on the war if they were to start targeting maritime shipping in the Red Sea and try to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait. This would amplify the war's already strong impact on oil and natural gas prices and on the global economy,” he said.
Israel strikes a petrochemical plant in Iran
A low-level energy war may have already begun, however. Israel struck a major petrochemical plant in the Iranian city of Mahshahr on Saturday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the plant was part of Iran’s “money machine, which funds their war of terror against us and against the world.”
Iran responded on Sunday by striking power plants and a petrochemical plant in Kuwait, authorities there said. Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity also said a water desalination plant was targeted. Bahrain’s official news agency said an Iranian drone attack caused a fire at one of the national oil company’s storage facilities.
