Trump primetime address threatens to bomb Iran power plants if no deal in two weeks

President Trump delivered his first primetime address on the Iran war on April 1, 2026, threatening to strike every Iranian electric generating plant simultaneously if Iran did not agree to a deal within two to three weeks. Trump declared U.S. objectives nearly complete, citing the destruction of Iran's navy, air force, and most of its missiles. Bombing civilian power infrastructure is prohibited under international humanitarian law; Iran warned it would retaliate against regional energy infrastructure if power plants were struck.
