Trump Sets 3-Day Deadline: Iran's Oil Infrastructure 'Will Explode From Within'

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning Sunday that Iran's oil infrastructure is approaching catastrophic failure within approximately 72 hours, revealing unprecedented details about the physical toll of America's naval blockade on the Islamic Republic's petroleum export system.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump described a dire scenario unfolding beneath Iranian soil, where massive pressure buildup in oil pipelines could trigger irreversible damage to the nation's energy infrastructure. "The line explodes from within, both mechanically and in the earth, something happens where it just explodes," the President stated, adding that experts have informed him Tehran has roughly three days before this occurs.

The President clarified that the U.S. maritime blockade has effectively prevented Iran from exporting petroleum, creating what he characterized as a deadly bottleneck in the regime's pipeline systems. "When enormous quantities of oil are flowing and there's nowhere to send it because there are no ships or storage tanks, the pipeline simply explodes from the inside," Trump explained. "Once it explodes, you can never rebuild it the way it was. Even if they reconstruct it, it will only function at 50% capacity."

Economic Strangulation Intensifies

Trump emphasized that the economic pressure campaign has achieved remarkable effectiveness, asserting that Tehran finds itself in an increasingly desperate financial position. "They're in very bad shape. The blockade is working in an extraordinary way, they have no more money," the President declared.

The revelation comes as Iranian officials have refused to return to negotiations until Washington removes its naval blockade, which Tehran describes as an illegal act of coercion. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently visited Islamabad for meetings with Pakistani officials while deliberately avoiding any direct dialogue with American representatives, sending a clear signal about Iran's diplomatic stance.

Nuclear Threat to Israel

The President addressed Iran's nuclear ambitions with grave seriousness, framing the issue as an immediate existential threat. "We must stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons because the entire world will be in danger," Trump warned. "Israel will be bombed within minutes after they have such a weapon."

Trump criticized his predecessors for failing to address the Iranian nuclear program earlier, stating: "This should have been done 47 years ago. It will end very soon and we will win." The comments align with recently released State Department documents outlining Operation Epic Fury's objective to permanently dismantle Iran's military and nuclear capabilities.

Intelligence assessments indicate that Iran currently maintains approximately 440 kilograms of enriched uranium, sufficient material to produce eleven nuclear weapons, reportedly buried beneath bombed facilities in Isfahan and other previously targeted sites.

Diplomatic Channels Restructured

In a significant shift regarding mediation efforts, Trump announced that he has recalled American envoys from Pakistan and will no longer permit exhausting travel for diplomatic negotiations. Despite praising Pakistani leadership as "wonderful people," the President made clear that operational procedures must change.

"I called our people to come home. It's an 18-hour flight, we're not doing that anymore," Trump stated firmly. "They have secure lines. If they want to talk, they should call, they should come. We'll continue contacts by phone. They'll stay involved, but our people are coming back."

The decision follows Trump's recent cancellation of a planned trip by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan, after which Tehran reportedly submitted a revised proposal within minutes. "They gave us a paper that should have been better," Trump noted. "Interestingly, immediately when I canceled it, within ten minutes, we got a new paper that was much better."

The President also pointed to what he described as "tremendous infighting" within Iran's leadership structure, suggesting internal power struggles may be complicating diplomatic efforts. "They're probably fighting for leadership," Trump observed. "In many cases, I think they're fighting not to be the leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders. But I'll deal with whoever runs the show."
