Trump Warns Iran: Attack Ships in Hormuz, Face Bombardment of Bridges or Power Plants

Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that any attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz would result in severe retaliation. Trump declared on his Truth Social platform that for every strike Iran makes on a vessel, regardless of the method used, the U.S. would bomb and destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant.

Trump further specified that potential targets could extend to infrastructure in or near Tehran. This heightened rhetoric comes as U.S. and Iran reportedly resumed hostilities on July 12, effectively ending a ceasefire that had been in place since April. The conflict has escalated, with the U.S. initiating attacks on targets within Iran, and Tehran responding with actions against nations hosting U.S. military bases.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport, remains tense. The exchange of threats and retaliatory actions underscores the volatile geopolitical climate in the region, with significant implications for international trade and security.

From this moment on, every time the Islamic Republic of Iran strikes any ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether with a missile, drone, or any other device or weapon, the U.S. will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant.
