trump october 2025 1200x810

WASHINGTON, July 22 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump ​renewed his threats to attack Iranian infrastructure ‌on Wednesday, saying the U.S. would attack a bridge or power plant each time Tehran targets ​a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Any ​time the Islamic Republic of Iran ⁠shoots at a ship in the Strait ​of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, ​Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR ​POWER PLANT, including those located next ​to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran,” Trump ‌said ⁠in a post on Truth Social.

The U.S. and Iran have intensified attacks as an interim ceasefire agreement signed last month has unravelled ​and a ​struggle for ⁠control of the Strait of Hormuz has deepened, raising the risk ​of a return to all-out hostilities. ​under

Some ⁠international law experts and world leaders have criticized Trump’s threats to target Iranian bridges and ⁠power ​plants as illegal under international ​law that prohibits attacks on civilian targets.
