'Vile.' Trump's threat to Iran's infrastructure enflames MAGA tensions

President Donald Trump’s strongly-worded Easter threat to blow up Iranian infrastructure has prominent figures on the right pushing back, further enflaming tensions in his MAGA base over Iran.

Former GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene even suggested Trump should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution after he doubled down on his threat in another post on April 7 that said: "a whole civilization will die tonight."

Trump has been issuing increasingly dire warnings about the damage he may inflict on Iran, alarming some conservative leaders.

Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican and staunch Trump ally, expressed concerns about attacking Iranian bridges and power plants.

Tucker Carlson, Nancy Mace and Joe Kent have also criticized him. There needs to be more.

All US bases (already targets) but also any US assets, shipping, businesses and industry are fair game (as Iran sees it). WWIII will not be pretty and it's likely the cockroaches will be in charge again...damn Trump to Hell...

Iran still has a large percentage of its drones and missiles and can inflict a great deal of damage on our Gulf allies.

Iran responded to President Donald Trump’s looming threat Tuesday with a threat of their own: to lift all “self-restraint” by launching a large-scale attack on energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf and deprive the United States “of the region’s oil and gas for years.”

“Our self-restraint has come to an end,” reads a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran’s military apparatus, as reported by the Kurdish news outlet Kurdistan 24.

“America’s partners in the region must know that until today, we have restrained ourselves for the sake of good neighborliness… however, we are now lifting the immunity provided by our previous tolerance. Our focus will be solely on the targets and on seeking revenge.”

Trump has repeatedly demanded that Iran lift restrictions for U.S.-aligned vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel through which a fifth of the world’s oil trade flows. Amid ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks, Iran has refused, and in mid-March, Trump gave Iran 48 hours to re-open the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its power plants.

Iran has published a list of targets to hit if trump carries out his threat
