Trump says US will destroy a bridge or power plant for each Iranian attack in the Strait of Hormuz
Trump said the U.S. will strike Iranian infrastructure for each ship attack as tensions rise over the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned that the United States will destroy "one bridge or power plant" each time Iran attacks a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, targeting civilian infrastructure in retaliation.
- Following an 11th night of U.S. strikes on Iran, air defenses opened fire over Tehran as diplomatic efforts stalled and officials on both sides remained entrenched over control of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran's Health Ministry reported 53 deaths and nearly 600 wounded during the 11-day campaign, while the waterway's closure pushed Benchmark Brent crude oil to around $94 a barrel.
- On Tuesday, Trump stated the U.S. had "no interest in meeting" with Iranian officials and signaled that U.S. forces could soon target Pickaxe Mountain, an under-construction nuclear site near Natanz.
- New threats by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen to target Saudi shipping in the Red Sea risk creating another trade chokepoint, compounding economic pressure from the Strait of Hormuz closure.
