US President Donald Trump says the United States will respond to every Iranian attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz with strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure. In posts on social media, Trump states that if Iran fires missiles, rockets, drones, or other weapons at ships in the strait, Washington will “bomb and destroy” one bridge or power plant each time. Multiple outlets report that he includes targets that could be near Tehran, and that the threat is framed as retaliation for actions against vessels in the Hormuz, where shipping disruptions raise wider concerns about global oil supplies. The comments come as the conflict continues and US-Iran strikes enter a further stretch, with one account describing the war as reaching its 11th consecutive day of US strikes. Some reports also note that diplomatic efforts have shown little visible progress. Several outlets present the statement as part of Trump’s broader, repeated warnings about targeting infrastructure, while others highlight the tit-for-tat framing and the potential escalation risk implied by the pledge.
