Meanwhile, dozens were injured by Iranian strikes in Israel, as Tehran targeted a nuclear site.

Donald Trump threatened Iran in a Truth Social post Saturday evening, warning that the U.S. would target the nation’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote in the post.

Approximately 20% of the world’s oil passes through the the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route. Iranian attacks on ships in the area have seen the area essentially close to maritime traffic, while oil prices have soared globally.

    Jill Stein is a Russian asset and anyone who supported the green party in 2024 is a cuck who got trump elected. Even if your vote didn’t matter, you contributed to the dialogue and publicity they got for their blatant effort to split the vote. We shouldn’t have only 2 parties, but in the current system voting 3rd party is performative at best and genuinely dangerous at worst.

        And everything I said remains true except the Jill Stein part. You fell for a psy op to split the vote by making you waste it virtue signalling to… Yourself? Loser mentality, loser vote, loser.

          Did you miss the part where my districts are so lopsided that it does not hurt the lesser of two evils if I vote for good?

            Doesn’t mean it’s not virtue signalling, nor does it mean you didn’t contribute to the problem. You voted for a Russian intelligence asset for president of the United States and call it “good” you’re a lost fucking cause.
