Trump explained that if Iran is unable to continue exporting oil, the pipelines will eventually fail, both mechanically and due to the earth’s natural forces.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday issued a new warning to Iran, claiming the country has just three days to agree to a ceasefire deal to end the war, or its oil pipelines will “explode from within."

In an interview with Fox News, Trump explained that if Iran is unable to continue exporting oil, the pipelines will eventually fail, both mechanically and due to the earth’s natural forces.

“When you have lines of vast amounts of oil pouring through your system, if for any reason that line is closed because you can’t continue to put it into containers or ships, which has happened to them, they have no ships because of the blockade," Trump said.

“What happens is that line explodes from within, both mechanically and in the earth… They say they only have about three days left before that happens. And when it explodes, you can never, regardless, you can never rebuild it the way it was," he added.

The US President also said that once the explosion occurs, Iran would be unable to rebuild the pipeline to its original capacity, stating it would only function at about 50% of its previous output.
