Trump Warns Iran "Weapons of Mass Destruction"
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran yesterday in wording that suggests the United States could attack Iran with Nuclear Weapons. (However, he has now extended the deadline...I think Trump blinked) After Trump told Iran that unless they open the strait of Hormuz without threat within 48 Hours, the United States would target all of Iran's electric power plants and electrical infrastructure, Iran responded to that.
Iran said that if the U.S. targets Iranian power plants, Iran will attack the electric infrastructure of countries hosting US military bases and will also target Desalinization plants in those countries.
Most nations in the Middle East have no significant fresh water of their own, and instead, derive their drinking water from the ocean, using desalinization plants to remove the salt from the ocean water. If those plants are attacked, tens-of-millions of civilians in those Middle East Countries will be immediately without drinking water.
President Trump would do well to consider what Iran's allies, Russia and China, might do in such a situation.
Unlike Iran, those countries have actual nuclear weapons, and Russia has MORE than the United States does. China depends upon Iran for about 70% of China's imported oil. MORE
