President trump threatened to hit bridges and other infrastructure and economic targets if Iran continues to attack ships transiting 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 by a 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 wrote on @realDonaldTrump
Despite unrelenting U.S.attacks on largely civilian targets by the U.S. Centcom, Iran has continued to enforce its will on the Strait of Hormuz, striking ships that try to break its “closure” of the Strait.
Tehran responded to the latest threats by Trump: "In the event of attacks on bridges or power plants, Iran will immediately launch a large-scale strike against infrastructure and energy facilities in the region, in countries within the sphere of American interests."
