Trump Threatens Iran Oil, Power; Israel Strikes IRGC

Trump's warning, delivered via Truth Social, targets critical Iranian infrastructure, including desalination facilities, and demands the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for business. He stated these actions would be retaliation for past Iranian actions against US soldiers.

Concurrently, Israel's military, the IDF, confirmed it targeted multiple facilities within Tehran's Imam Hossein University, the IRGC's primary academic and training institution. These Israeli strikes aimed to damage Iran's advanced weapons development capabilities, specifically hitting underground wind tunnels for ballistic missile testing, a chemistry center for chemical weapons research, and an engineering complex involved in missile development.

The IDF stated these strikes were carried out multiple times to inflict significant damage on Iran's production and research infrastructure. This dual development highlights a complex geopolitical landscape involving both diplomatic efforts and military escalation.
