Following over 30 attacks on commercial vessels in the vital Strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump issues a severe ultimatum threatening to destroy Iranian bridges or power plants. <\/p>\n
The American military command announced on the X platform that over the past three months, Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels navigating through the Strait of Hormuz, which holds critical importance for regional and global trade. According to the U.S., the strait remains open for vessel traffic, while Washington and Teheran issue contradictory statements regarding the route. Over the weekend, the U.S. claimed that Iran does not control the strait, whereas Iran claimed the maritime route is closed due to illegal U.S. actions.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Donald Trump renewed his threats against Iran, publishing a warning on his Truth Social profile. Trump wrote that from now on, every time the Islamic Republic of Iran fires upon a ship in the Strait of Hormuz using a missile, rocket, drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant.<\/p>\n
Trump issued a similar ultimatum back in March, stating then that if Iran did not allow navigation, the U.S. would bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, though targeting civilian infrastructure would constitute a war crime. Amid the crisis, some vessels are navigating the strait with transponders turned off, representing only a small fraction of pre-war traffic. U.S. armed forces resumed airstrikes against Iran on July 7 following Teheran’s attacks on ships in the strait, threatening the fragile peace agreement signed on June 17. Between Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the U.S. struck locations including Teheran, Bushehr in southern Iran, the cities of Bandar Mahshahr and Behbehan in Khuzestan province, as well as Tabriz, Sirik, and Chabahar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
