US President Donald Trump says the United States will carry out “tit-for-tat” strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure if Iran attacks shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Multiple outlets report that Trump warns Washington will “bomb and destroy” one Iranian bridge or power plant each time Iran fires at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, describing the threat as applying to attacks carried out by missiles, rockets, drones, or other weapons. The comments come as the war between the US and Iran continues through an 11th day of US strikes, with reports also describing overnight strikes and air-defense activity over Tehran. Euronews and other summaries add that Trump frames the response as payback, and that he reiterates he is “not finished” with the conflict. Al-Monitor also reports Trump references the overall cost of the war to Washington, citing a figure of $37.5 billion. While the specific operational details are not provided in the coverage summarized here, the outlets consistently present Trump’s message as a warning of repeated infrastructure-targeting in response to attacks on vessels in the strategic waterway.
