Trump warns US will "bomb and destroy One Bridge Or Power Plant" if Iran attacks a ship
“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,”
Former President Donald Trump posted a warning on his Truth Social platform Wednesday, stating that if Iran attacks any vessel in the Strait of Hormuz—by missile, rocket, drone, or other means—the United States would respond by bombing a bridge or power plant, including targets in or near Tehran. The message did not specify whether the threatened retaliation would apply only to US-flagged ships or any vessel in the waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments, meaning any escalation could affect energy prices and supply chains, particularly for countries like India that rely on Gulf crude imports. The statement represents one of Trump’s most explicit threats linking maritime attacks to strikes on Iranian infrastructure.
