President Donald Trump issued a stark warning Sunday that Iran's oil infrastructure is approaching catastrophic failure within approximately 72 hours, revealing unprecedented details about the physical toll of America's naval blockade on the Islamic Republic's petroleum export system.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump described a dire scenario unfolding beneath Iranian soil, where massive pressure buildup in oil pipelines could trigger irreversible damage to the nation's energy infrastructure. "The line explodes from within, both mechanically and in the earth, something happens where it just explodes," the President stated, adding that experts have informed him Tehran has roughly three days before this occurs.
The President clarified that the U.S. maritime blockade has effectively prevented Iran from exporting petroleum, creating what he characterized as a deadly bottleneck in the regime's pipeline systems. "When enormous quantities of oil are flowing and there's nowhere to send it because there are no ships or storage tanks, the pipeline simply explodes from the inside," Trump explained. "Once it explodes, you can never rebuild it the way it was. Even if they reconstruct it, it will only function at 50% capacity." (Ed note: Restarting a "shut-in" oil well is complex and there is not a simple 'on/off' switch' or lever as in your kitchen sink. And President Trump is correct, the experts say that there may be losses in productivity of up to 50% in volume.) (Read More)
