Trump threatens to hit civilian targets

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant whenever Iran targets a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This move increases tensions following threats from Iranian-allied Houthis in Yemen against a second vital waterway. By targeting civilian infrastructure, Trump aims to respond to maritime aggression. The announcement marks a significant escalation in the conflict, focusing on the strategic destruction of Iranian assets to ensure security in the region.
