Trump Warns Iran of Retaliation on Infrastructure for Attacks in Strait of Hormuz

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

US President Donald Trump warned that any Iranian attack on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz would prompt the United States to retaliate by bombing one Iranian bridge or power plant, including targets near Tehran. This threat follows escalating military strikes between the US and Iran, with both sides exchanging attacks on vessels and infrastructure. Iran responded by threatening to target US-linked infrastructure in the region. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions have shown limited progress amid ongoing hostilities.
