US President Donald Trump has threatened to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by 8 PM ET on April 7, 2026. He warned of a massive bombing campaign aimed at critical facilities, including the Damavand Power Plant, which supplies approximately 43% of Tehran's electricity. Trump emphasized that failure to comply would result in these facilities being left 'burning, exploding, and never to be used again.' Other significant targets include the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, Iran's only operational nuclear reactor, and various natural gas plants across the country. Experts caution that a strike on the Bushehr facility could lead to catastrophic radiation dispersal. Iran's infrastructure is designed to withstand attacks, with many facilities being underground or heavily fortified, complicating potential military operations.
