U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that the United States will strike Iranian bridges or power plants if Iran attacks any ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping routes. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that every attack on a vessel whether by missile, rocket, drone, or any other weapon would be met with the destruction of one Iranian bridge or power facility, including targets in the capital, Tehran. The warning comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to escalate. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it carried out strikes on Iranian military targets for an 11th consecutive night, targeting operations centers, drone storage sites, and military logistics infrastructure. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Iran of not being serious about reaching a diplomatic agreement, while reaffirming that the United States remains committed to pursuing a diplomatic solution. The renewed tensions also affected global energy markets, with oil prices rising sharply amid concerns over the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil exports.
