Trump Warns Iran of Retaliation for Attacks on Ships in Strait of HormuzPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that any attack on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz will prompt the US to destroy one Iranian bridge or power plant, including those near Tehran. This threat follows escalating military strikes and tensions in the Gulf region, with both sides exchanging attacks on vessels and infrastructure. While Trump emphasized a strict retaliation policy, US officials also expressed openness to diplomatic negotiations amid ongoing regional instability affecting global energy markets.
