Trump threatens massive war crimes against Iran if no ceasefire reached

The Guardian: Trump threatens to ‘obliterate’ Kharg Island and Iran’s oil wells if a deal is not reached ‘shortly’

In his latest post on Truth Social, Donald Trump claimed that the US is in “serious discussions” with a “new and more reasonable regime” to end its war on Iran, but threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s strategically crucial Kharg Island if a deal is not reached shortly.

“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.”
This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.”

(Snip)

Last week after Trump said the US and Iran had held “very good and productive conversations” about ending the war, Iranian officials quickly denied any such talks had occurred. Iran has said the US is secretly plotting a ground attack while displaying a message of diplomacy. The US is reportedly considering plans to occupy or blockade Kharg Island to pressure Tehran to reopen the strait of Hormuz.

This profoundly ignorant monster would collapse the global economy and cause unprecedented suffering and death by war and starvation just to gratify his obscene ego. I have long since stopped thinking of him as human. He’s a giant turd hanging suspended over the latrine of death, waiting to drop. It can’t come soon enough. If the CIA wet works program wants to help him pass, that’s fine with me. They could redeem themselves for an awful lot of heinous skulduggery by doing so. Hey CIA dirty ops, now’s your chance to stand on the right side of history for a change. Think of your legacy!

It must be shunned, isolated, sanctioned and boycotted by the rest of the world.

Until this self-deluded, egomaniacal, stinky bag of malevolence and greed is expunged from its body politic like the malignant tumor that it is.

God help the Iranian people.
