US EditionTrump promises to strike Iran’s infrastructure on Tuesday if Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened
Trump warned Iran of strikes on power plants and bridges unless the strait reopens, as more than 1,900 people have been killed in the war, officials said.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iran's power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, warning in an expletive-laden Truth Social post that Tehran would be "living in Hell."

- U.S. forces successfully rescued a downed F-15E airman in a "daring" operation involving dozens of aircraft and a CIA deception campaign; Iran's joint command claimed it destroyed several US aircraft during the mission, challenging the official account.
- Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer condemned the "angry, profanity-laced threat," while former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called it "madness," as legal experts warn strikes on civilian infrastructure could constitute war crimes.
- Mediators from Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt are attempting to de-escalate the standoff as humanitarian groups warn strikes on power plants would worsen civilian suffering; experts caution that destroying energy infrastructure could trigger reciprocal attacks, threatening global energy flows.
