Iran has warned that any U.S. action against its bridges or power plants would trigger retaliatory strikes on infrastructure and bridges across the Middle East, including energy facilities tied to U.S. interests, according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency citing a military source. The statement was described as a direct response to Donald Trump’s latest threat, after Trump said the United States would destroy a bridge or power plant for every ship attacked in the strait. The same source also said vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz could travel safely if they coordinate with Iran and follow its arrangements. Otherwise, Iran would not give up what the source called its firm resolve to control the strait, arguing that such control is consistent with the waterway’s long-term security. The report was cited by BlockBeats and attributed to Jin10.
