U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, declaring that the United States will respond with direct strikes on key Iranian infrastructure if any vessel in the Strait of Hormuz comes under attack.
In a statement, Trump said that from this point forward, any attack by Iran on a ship in the strategic waterway—whether carried out using missiles, rockets, drones, or any other weapon—would trigger an immediate U.S. military response.
According to Trump, the response would involve bombing and destroying one Iranian bridge or power plant for every such attack, including facilities located in or near the capital city of Tehran.
“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!” Trump said.
