If Donald Trump follows through on his threat to destroy Iran’s power plants, the vast nation will face a ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ of monstrous proportions with millions struggling to get food, experts have warned.
Not only that, but if Washington targets the Islamic Republic’s essential infrastructure, the West can expect a terrifying wave of terrorist attacks and the globe will be plunged into financial Armageddon.
Tehran has a tight deadline of 8pm ET tonight – or 1am BST tomorrow – to reopen the Strait of Hormuz before Trump unleashes the dreaded attack.
