US President Donald Trump threatens to bomb Iranian bridges and power plants if Tehran continues striking ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
“From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz — whether it be by missile, rocket, drone or any other device or weapon — the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the capital city of Tehran,” Trump writes on Truth Social.
