Trump Says God Supports Iran War as He Threatens Power Plant Bombing
President Trump said God supports the U.S. war with Iran and threatened to bomb Iranian power plants that supply electricity to 93 million civilians. Trump said "God wants to see people taken care of" as his new reason for the costly conflict.
President Trump offered a religious justification for the ongoing Iran war, saying "God wants to see people taken care of" while threatening wider bombing campaigns against civilian targets.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to destroy Iranian power plants that provide electricity to the country's 93 million people. Military experts warn that bombing civilian power infrastructure would cause widespread suffering and likely violates international war crimes laws.
The president also discussed potential deal negotiations with Iran through Pakistani mediators. "I can tell you that we have an active, willing participant on the other side. They would like to make a deal," Trump said, mentioning that any agreement would include "free traffic of oil."
The conflict has grown increasingly unpopular with Americans due to its high costs. Trump's new religious framing appears aimed at building public support for expanded military action.
Destroying power plants would shut down hospitals, schools, and basic services that Iranian families depend on daily. Under international law, deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure typically constitutes a war crime.
Bombing civilian power plants would cut electricity to hospitals, schools and homes across Iran. International law experts say attacking civilian infrastructure like this counts as a war crime.
Watch for Iran's response to Trump's latest threats and whether any deal negotiations advance through Pakistani mediators.
