US President Donald Trump today threatened to order strikes on Iranian bridges and power plants if Tehran attacks ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said the US would retaliate against any future Iranian attack on commercial shipping in the waterway.
“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,” Mr Trump wrote.
