Trump says US will destroy a bridge or power plant for each Iranian attack in the Strait of Hormuz
Trump said the U.S. will strike Iranian infrastructure for each ship attack as tensions rise over the Strait of Hormuz.

- Iran's Health Ministry reported 53 deaths and nearly 600 wounded during the recent campaign, while the closure of the region's vital channel pushed Benchmark Brent crude oil to around $94 a barrel.
- Trump dismissed potential talks on Tuesday, stating the U.S. had "no interest in meeting" while threatening strikes on Pickaxe Mountain, an under-construction nuclear site near Natanz.
- New threats by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen to target Saudi shipping in the Red Sea risk creating another trade chokepoint, setting a dangerous precedent for international waterways.
