US will destroy bridge or power plant for each Iranian attack in Strait of Hormuz: Trump
The US president threatened to target civilian infrastructure in retaliation for Iranian attacks; strikes have escalated on both sides, leaving an interim deal to end the war in tatters
Dubai, Jul 22 (AP) US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that the US will destroy one bridge or power plant each time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
In his warning on social media, the president returned to earlier threats to target civilian infrastructure in retaliation for Iranian attacks. It comes as strikes have escalated on both sides, leaving an interim deal to end the war in tatters.
“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,” Trump wrote on social media. (AP)
