Trump Warns Iran of US Strikes on Tehran Infrastructure Over Any Attack in Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump sharply escalated tensions with Iran on Wednesday by threatening direct American military retaliation against critical Iranian infrastructure if Tehran attacks any vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Posting on Truth Social, Trump declared that any Iranian missile, rocket, drone, or other attack on ships in the strategic waterway would be met with US strikes targeting a bridge or power station, including those near or inside Tehran. This unprecedented threat marks a significant intensification in the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran.

The announcement follows the completion of the 11th consecutive night of US strikes against Iranian targets aimed at degrading Iran's ability to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil transit route. Meanwhile, US and allied intelligence agencies believe Trump is considering expanding the campaign in the coming days. Just yesterday, Trump warned of possible attacks on Iran's new nuclear site at the "Mountain of Death," where thousands of centrifuges and highly enriched uranium reportedly have been moved, according to Israeli intelligence assessments.

Iran has continued its own escalation by launching missiles and drones toward Gulf countries. On Wednesday morning, a missile attack targeted Jordan, and later in the afternoon, a warning alert was issued in Saudi Arabia but was subsequently lifted without explanation. The situation remains highly volatile as both sides increase military actions and threats in the region.
