Trump Warns Iran: US Will Destroy Bridge or Power Plant for Each Attack on Ships

US President Donald Trump has threatened to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant every time Tehran attacks a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. The warning comes amid escalating tensions in the region, including recent US airstrikes and Iranian missile attacks on Jordan. Trump’s statement was made just before he attended the return of four American service members killed in Iranian attacks and related operations. The threat reflects a tougher US stance as the conflict spills over, threatening a major shipping route. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil supplies, and its closure could severely impact energy markets and economies. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts have made little progress, with both sides holding firm positions. Additionally, Houthi rebels in Yemen are also threatening shipping, putting another trade route at risk. The situation remains volatile, with the US vowing to retaliate against any Iranian aggression in the waterway.
