US President Donald Trump has issued a new threat to destroy Iran's bridges as tensions explode once again. In a Truth Social post, he said: "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. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
Escalating rhetoric
The threat follows recent incidents in the strategic waterway, where Iran has been accused of targeting vessels. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for global oil shipments.
