US vows to target more Iranian infrastructure as nations seek to open Hormuz

Trump said the U.S. has not begun destroying what is left in Iran as 40 countries sought a way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump vowed to escalate attacks on Iranian infrastructure, posting video of a U.S. strike on a bridge near Tehran that Iranian state media reported killed eight people and wounded 95.
  • Iran effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which carries roughly a fifth of global oil trade, in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes that began on February 28.
  • More than 100 American international law experts raised concerns about potential U.S. war crimes, while Britain chaired a virtual meeting of 40 nations that failed to produce a navigation agreement.
  • Tehran proposed a protocol with Oman requiring shipping permits, but European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas rejected the plan, stating Iran cannot charge countries a bounty for passage.
  • Iranian military spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaqari warned of "more crushing, broader and more destructive" attacks as the joint U.S.-Israeli operation nears the end of its fifth week.
