President Trump issued a new threat against Iran concerning the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that for every ship attack by Iran, the U.S. would bomb and destroy a bridge or power plant. This threat comes as Trump weighs both de-escalation and significant military action. His primary demand for a ceasefire is for Iran to cease its attacks on shipping and allow passage through the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command reported Iran has attacked over thirty commercial vessels recently. Some attacks occurred even after a ceasefire memorandum was signed between the two nations. Trump specified that targets could include infrastructure in or near Tehran. The U.S. has already bombed bridges in southern Iran during recent hostilities. Targeting power plants and striking within Tehran would represent a considerable escalation. Such actions would likely provoke a wider retaliation from Iran. Iran, through a military source, stated they would not allow the Strait to be used for threats against them. Iran vows to respond to any U.S. strikes on its infrastructure by targeting regional energy facilities where the U.S. has interests.
