About this episode
Trumps Threats: A Historical Perspective on Bombing Irans Infrastructure
Donald Trumps recent threats to bomb Irans power plants and bridges, dubbed Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, aim to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He warns of severe consequences if Iran doesnt comply, aiming to push them back to the stone age. However, historical precedents, such as Israels 2006 war with Hezbollah and Russias attacks on Ukraines grids, suggest that such tactics may not yield the desired results. Experts like former general Mick Ryan and researcher Danny Citrinowicz argue that Iran, built on resistance, wont budge, and such actions could risk war crimes and escalate the conflict.

UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Trump's Iran Threats: Will Bombs Rewrite Strategy?. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 7, Donald Trump is threatening to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges, dubbing it, power plant day and bridge day all in one, in less day, re-open the strait of Hormuz. He warned they'd be living in hell, aiming to push Iran back to the stone ages and meet war goals fast. Earlier this week on Easter Sunday, he dropped an expedited filled post, then doubled down on Monday via truth social, saying a whole civilization could die tonight if they don't back off. History paints a grim picture on this tactic. Back in Israel's 2006 war with Hezbollah and Lebanon, they hit power stations and bridges, causing massive oil spills and blackouts, but Hezbollah just re-armed and kept fighting. Russia hammered Ukraine's grids for years, leading to brutal winters, yet Kiev never folded. Even the U.S. Rolling Thunder campaign against North Vietnam from 1965 to 1968 bombed hard, but couldn't force Hanoi to quit. As defense secretary McNamara admitted no air strikes alone would do it without total destruction. Experts like former General
Mick Ryan and researcher Danny Citrinoitz argue Iran, built on resisting U.S. pressure, won't budge. It had just hand Tehran, killer propaganda while risking war crimes, leaving the real question if bombs rewrite their strategy or just drag us deeper.
