US Edition‘Iran Will Be Decimated,’ Trump Says as Deadline for Strait’s Reopening Nears
Trump said the U.S. military will target Iran’s electrical stations and bridges on Tuesday as he escalates pressure on Tehran.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump renewed threats to strike Iran's civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, if the country does not end its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening.
- In a Sunday post on Truth Social, the president declared Tuesday "power plant day," threatening electrical stations and bridges—an escalation mirroring Russia's campaign against Ukraine.
- Flanked by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump described the "historical" rescue of a downed F-15 crew with no casualties. Hegseth warned U.S. strikes would intensify ahead of the deadline.
- Tehran rejected a proposed 45-day ceasefire to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning of "more crushing" and "more extensive" retaliatory attacks.
- Market analysts anticipate continued volatility as narratives shift, warning that damage to supply chains and investor confidence will persist even if the strait reopens, potentially leading to a bitter fight.
