FAQ

What did former President Trump say?

In a FOX News program, he stated that if Iran did not comply with the (nuclear) agreement, all of Iran's energy facilities (such as power plants) could be destroyed.

Is he serious?

It could be a strong threat (bluff) to gain leverage in negotiations, but due to the extremely high tensions in U.S.-Iran relations, the possibility of military action cannot be completely ruled out.

What would happen if it were carried out?

There is a very high risk of a large-scale war in the Middle East. It would also severely disrupt global energy supplies, cause a spike in oil prices, and have a devastating impact on the world economy.
