Is that legal? Trump threatens bridges, power plants and a ‘whole civilization’
Maybe Donald Trump is hallucinating or taking some bad pills to help him sleep but for the first time in our history as human beings on this earth, somebody, USA President Donald Trump no less is threatening to wipe out human civilization all over the world and hurl humanity into the abyss.
Trump in his deranged mind thinks he can just blow-up Iran and wipe out 93 million Iranians and the world plus surviving Iranians would love him for that. If anything like that was to ever happen, the universe as we know it will come to an end. Abruptly. God forbid.
For whose benefit? For Netanyahu or for Trump. Good Luck with that for both of them.
There are all technical legal arguments about whether Trump and the USA would be committing the worst war crime in history if they wipe out Iran as he is promising to do.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday morning, referencing his 8 p.m. deadline for Iran to cry “Uncle” to the US and open the Strait of Hormuz.
International outrage and ‘war crimes’ warnings
Trump’s threats to go after power plants have already drawn international condemnation and warnings.
“I urgently call on parties to spare civilians and civilian objects in all military operations,” said International Committee of the Red Cross President Mirjana Spoljaric in a published statement. “It is their obligation under international humanitarian law.”
“Canada expects all parties in this conflict, in any conflict, to respect international laws,” Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters Tuesday.
The Trump administration disdains international law
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who goes by his Trump-bestowed secondary title secretary of war, has said the war with Iran would be conducted without “stupid rules of engagement.”
At the end of it all President Trump is now in a boiling pot. That is not a good place to be when sometimes you can barely walk. But here is the boiler room Trump has built for himself.
Trump is not going to have the guts to wipe out Iran even if he could, but the whole world knows if Iran has to go to war for the next ten years to defend themselves against Israeli and USA invasion, they are going to do it.
At this point President Trump’s most likely move will be to just backoff and invent some victory lap to stop the war. Good for him. The better thing is that as soon as Trump stops the war, he will order Netanyahu who started the war to cut it off immediately. That is coming.
No, it is already in. I just checked the news a few minutes ago.
Trump agrees to two-week ceasefire with Iran, subject to Strait of Hormuz opening
President Donald Trump said he’d agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his 8 p.m. deadline to destroy a “whole civilization.”
Trump said the ceasefire agreement was made on the condition that Iran agree to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz.
“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East,” Trump wrote.
“We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two-week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution,” he added.
At the end of the day this is now getting into a complete disaster for Benjamin Netanyahu and the state of Israel that launched the criminal war against Iran and brought in Donald Trump to help them destroy Iran completely.
That fire blowing behind Trump and Netanyahu is very small compared to the fire burning inside them after their delusions about Iran were stopped by the Iranians fighting tough to defend their country.
The first job was to “Wipe Out” Iran from existence and if that meant killing the 93 million Iranian citizens, Trump and Bibi had their mouths watering to achieve that main goal for their attack against Iran.
Here we have Bibi Netanyahu who have been whining about Iran trying to wipe Israel out and now the Israeli PM is salivating in the mouth that they are just about to wipe out Iran.
The sheer hypocrisy and brutality brought in by Netanyahu in all directions in this nightmare for the whole world is frightening. But that is not shocking because Bibi Netanyahu is now fighting three wars in every direction starting with the ongoing genocide in Gaza plus Iran wipeout war now turning into a complete failure and then slaughtering civilians in Lebanon even after the ceasefire which is what Bibi thinks an Israeli Prime Minister’s job should be.
Now Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel want to turn Lebanon into the new Gaza and they are ready for genocide there if they feel that would help them. In fact, as soon as Trump announced his ceasefire at night, within hours Israel launched the most massive attack on civilians in Beirut since 1982.

Bibi Netanyahu has already launched his new genocide mission in Lebanon thousands of civilians in Beirut a few days after the cease fire was announced by President Trump.
Sadly, for Bibi Netanyahu especially now that his dreams of getting Iran wiped out is dead is that his other big agenda items and excuses for invading Iran repeatedly will not even be the focus of the deal between Iran and Trump.
The whole war is now about only one big issue and that is the opening of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran and that is President Trump’s key demand for a deal with Iran.
People like Netanyahu are going to try to hang on to the opening of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran as the biggest achievement of the invasion he launched against Iran. Trump is already yelling about “Total Victory” because Iran is promising to open the Strait of Hormuz.
These warmongers and criminals are trying to forget that the Strait of Hormuz was open and operating normal before Israel and Trump launched the invasion of Iran. So, the best thing now is to get it back to normal but worse for Israel is that Iran has been forced to find out that they have a great national asset even in war called the Strait of Hormuz. Its strategic importance will never be overlooked by Iran.
The other whining points for Israel like Iran doing nuclear investments and the ballistic missile system in Iran are going to be sideline issues that will not get much attention from both President Trump and Iran.
In the US, many Americans are just fed up with Donald Trump who is now more of a Clown-in-Chief rather than the Commander- in-Chief American presidents are supposed to be and his buddy Netanyahu is helping him climb down the ladder so he can be more chaotic. That is their problem to deal with.
For Bibi it is a complete defeat on the ground after achieving none of his lofty dreams for the invasion of Iran. Netanyahu also faces the ignominy of being the Israeli Prime Minster who started the invasion war on Iran and now being ordered to get the hell out of there by his buddy who came to help him and found Iran too tough to wipe out.
For Trump “Operation Epic Fury” has become “Operation Epic Mess”. Looks very good on both Bibi and Trump.
Bibi Netanyahu can now go back and nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize like he did some months ago while committing genocide in Gaza and ruined any hopes of Trump getting anywhere close to the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe this time Trump can nominate Netanyahu for 2026 Nobel Genocide Prize.
That will be a guaranteed win for Bibi Netanyahu and it will be handed over to him at the International Criminal Court (ICC) where he already has an Arrest Warrant issued against him. They would be happy to have him there and he would be very much at home with heinous killers like him in there.
There is a big problem Netanyahu will face with Trump if he continues with another endless war in Lebanon because Netanyahu project now is to sabotage the ceasefire plan just starting and that ceasefire is President Trump’s last hope to look like he achieved something in this hopeless war started by Netanyahu.
Trump is going to tell Netanyahu to stop bombing Lebanon because that is killing his plan with Iran. Netanyahu cannot refuse Trump’s orders because those bombs blowing places from Israel are American Bombs given to Israel and Trump being a guy who acts on instinct will tell Netanyahu either he stops his tricks in Lebanon or Trump will cut off the flow of bombs and fighter jets to him.
Netanyahu knows Trump is not like Joe Biden who helped him commit genocide in Gaza while pretending he was against it. Trump is Trump. Fullstop.
Benjamin Netanyahu still wants Iran to be wiped out because that is why he invaded Iran. Trump now wants the Strait of Hormuz fully opened and this is his victory lap which he will not allow Bibi to ruin.
And now Trump is doing double blockade. Stupidity must have limits and it will even for Donald Trump.
Why Trump is threatening to blockade a strait that Iran is already blockading
President Donald Trump is threatening to close off the Strait of Hormuz — a crucial waterway that he has repeatedly told Iran must be reopened unconditionally.
“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday morning. “At some point, we will reach an ‘ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT’ basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen.”
Iran’s decision to close the strait to oil tanker traffic has caused severe economic damage to some countries that rely on Middle Eastern crude, and it has led prices to surge around the world — including the United States.
So why would Trump want to blockade the strait that he wants reopened?
The strait isn’t technically closed — Iran has been gradually allowing some tankers through in exchange for a toll of up to $2 million per ship. And, crucially, Iran has been allowing its own oil to pass in and out of the region throughout the war: Iran had managed to export an average of 1.85 million barrels of crude a day through March — about 100,000 barrels a day more than in the previous three months, according to data and analytics firm Kpler.
