Trump threatens Iran bridges, power as payback for Hormuz attacks

Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, threatening to bomb bridges or power plants in the country if the Islamic Republic attacks any vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump made the threat via social media, stating that any such aggression would be met with a forceful response.

"Any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT," Trump wrote. This statement directly links potential Iranian actions to a severe retaliatory strike on critical infrastructure.

The threat is not new; Trump has previously voiced similar intentions to target Iranian infrastructure. This latest declaration serves as a reiteration of his longstanding policy and a clear signal of his administration's potential response to perceived threats in the vital waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies.
