WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump reassured the American public on Monday that the complete destruction of Iran’s civilian infrastructure has been narrowed down to a convenient four-hour window this Tuesday, designating the occasion as both “Bridge Day” and “Power Plant Day” for the Islamic Republic.

Speaking from the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, the President confirmed that if a deal is not reached by the 8 p.m. ET deadline, the U.S. military will begin a “complete demolition” of every bridge and power grid in the country, a logistical feat he promised would be finished by midnight.

“The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night is tomorrow night,” the President said, noting that the 240-minute schedule was designed for maximum efficiency. “By 12 o’clock, they’re going to have no bridges. They’re going to have no power. Stone Ages. It’s going to be a very beautiful thing to watch, very fast, very clean.”

When asked about the humanitarian impact on the 88 million people living in Iran, the President explained that his administration has been monitoring “numerous intercepts” of Iranian citizens who are reportedly eager to have their local utility companies and transportation networks reduced to smoldering rubble.

“They’re saying, ‘Please, keep bombing, we love it,’” the President told reporters, citing intelligence that suggests the Iranian public views the total loss of electricity and the ability to cross rivers as a necessary prerequisite for freedom. “They would be willing to suffer that. They want the Stone Ages. The Stone Ages were actually a very great time, very little debt, no fake news.”

White House aides confirmed that the Tuesday deadline follows similar 48-hour ultimatums issued on April 4 and April 1, but insisted that this Tuesday is the “real Tuesday.” The administration’s plan involves a synchronized blitz intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a move that the President noted would lower fuel prices just in time for the weekend.

“We’re finishing the job,” the President added, dismissing concerns regarding international law or war crimes. “We’ve already set them back 15 to 20 years. Tomorrow night, we’re going for the full 5,000. It’s going to be Power Plant Day. Everyone is invited to watch.”

At press time, the Pentagon was reportedly seen moving the “Stone Age” start time to 8:15 p.m. to allow for a brief pre-show analysis by network military consultants.
