U.S. President Donald Trump made a sensational statement, predicting a possible explosion of Iranian pipelines in just three days if the pumping of colossal volumes of oil ceases.
U.S. President Donald Trump made a bold statement, warning that Iranian pipelines could "explode" within three days. This alarming prediction was made during an interview with Fox News.
Danger of Explosion
Trump emphasized that colossal volumes of oil pass through Iranian pipelines daily. He explained that a halt in pumping could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Here’s what Trump literally said: "If for some reason this line is shut down because you can no longer put it (oil, - ed.) into containers or onto ships, then what happens is that this line explodes from the inside... If something happens, it just explodes. They say they (Iran, - ed.) have about three days left before this happens."
Possible Consequences
According to President Trump, such an explosion would result in Iran losing about half of all its capacities. Restoring them would be nearly impossible.
