Trump Threatens to Send Iran ‘Back to the Stone Age’

Darwin, 02 April: U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning that Iran could be “sent back to the Stone Age,” significantly escalating tensions amid the ongoing conflict.

In a televised address to the nation, Trump sharply criticized Iran’s leadership, calling them a “fanatical regime” that has chanted for the destruction of the United States and Israel for decades.

He claimed Iran’s military capabilities have been severely weakened, stating that its navy is “effectively gone” and its air force is on the verge of collapse.

Trump said the United States is on the verge of eliminating what he described as Iran’s long-standing threat. “We are very close to ending Iran’s evil threat to America and the world. Our objectives will be achieved very soon,” he said.

However, he made clear that military operations will continue until those objectives are met. Warning of intensified attacks in the next two to three weeks, Trump stated, “We are going to hit them very hard… we will send them back to the Stone Age.”

He noted that “regime change” was never his primary goal, but claimed the situation has evolved following the reported death of Iran’s leader.

Trump also warned of devastating coordinated strikes on Iran’s power generation facilities if no agreement is reached.

Call for Action in the Strait of Hormuz
Trump urged other countries to take a more active role in securing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil route.

Addressing major Gulf oil-importing nations, he said, “Go into the Strait, take control of it, protect it—show some courage.”

Support for Allies and Energy Concerns
The U.S. president thanked regional allies including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain for their support, saying they have “done a tremendous job” and would not be allowed to fail.

Trump also acknowledged rising fuel prices in the United States, describing the increase as temporary and blaming Iranian attacks on oil tankers for the surge.

Growing International Concern

Trump’s aggressive rhetoric has raised alarm globally, with analysts warning that further escalation could trigger a wider regional conflict. Countries are increasingly calling for diplomatic solutions, fearing that continued tensions—especially around the Strait of Hormuz—could disrupt global energy supplies and destabilize the world economy.

Despite his confident tone, uncertainty remains over how and when the conflict will end, as well as its broader implications for regional and global stability.
