Trump says US will destroy a bridge or power plant for each Iranian attack in the Strait of Hormuz

Trump has threatened to destroy Iranian bridges or power plants in response to any attacks occurring in the Strait of Hormuz. This latest warning to target civilian infrastructure emerges as the unpopular war continues without a clear offramp. Such escalations threaten further worldwide economic disruption and are expected to drive fuel prices higher leading up to the midterm U.S. elections this fall, as the conflict between the two nations continues to spiral.
