US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran. Trump stated that if Iran fires upon or launches missile attacks against any vessel in the Strait of Hormuz from now on, the US will retaliate by targeting one of its bridges or power plants for every such attack.
Writing on the Truth Social platform, Trump said, “From now on, whenever Iran fires at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz—whether using missiles, rockets, drones, or any other device or weapon—the United States will bomb and destroy a bridge or power plant. This includes bridges or power plants located near or within the capital, Tehran.”
The US had also carried out an attack on Iran recently; multiple explosions occurred in areas ranging from Chabahar to Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island. On Tuesday, July 21, a British maritime agency reported that a tanker off the coast of Oman was struck by an unidentified projectile (such as a missile or drone). Iran also claimed to have launched a missile attack on a US base in Kuwait. The Pentagon has acknowledged that, in addition to the deaths of three soldiers, approximately 100 US troops have been injured over the past two weeks.
