President Trump says "we could do a lot worse" to Iran.

U.S. officials say the Strait of Hormuz is now considered a high-risk zone controlled by Iranian threat activity, raising alarms for international shipping.

Nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply normally passes through the strait, making any disruption a major concern for global energy markets.

We could take them out by this afternoon. In fact, within an hour, they literally would never be able to build that country back — Donald J Trump 

President Trump made that exact statement regarding Iran’s electricity facilities. He also mentioned that he has the capability to strike them, and Iran would be forced to rebuild them after 25 years. However, he stated that he would not do that.

Trump has repeatedly hit on the number 47, arguing that this conflict should have happened in 1979.

It should have been done for 47 years. They've been killing our people... they don't know what the hell hit them.

This framing suggests he views himself as the first president willing to "finish the job" that started with the Hostage Crisis, aiming for a permanent removal of the clerical regime rather than just a nuclear setback.

Military power between major countries is not something people take light because the impact could be huge for the entire region we simply hope tensions don’t escalate further.
