Trump vows to hit Iranian bridge or power plant each time Tehran strikes ships in Strait of Hormuz

CNN · back to the audit

Threats traded: President Donald Trump says the US will 'destroy one bridge or power plant' every time Iran targets a ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran in turn will hit infrastructure and energy facilities across the region, an official told Iranian media. Pickaxe Mountain: Tehran has accused Washington of using Pickaxe Mountain as a pretext for further attacks, after Trump earlier also threatened to attack the suspected underground nuclear site. Attacks escalate: Jordan's armed forces say they intercepted multiple Iranian attacks today, following another round of US strikes. The conflict has so far cost $37.5 billion, according to the Pentagon. Dignified transfer: Trump today is attending a dignified transfer of the four US service members who were recently killed in the Iran war. US-Saudi nuclear deal: Meanwhile, Trump has approved a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia that could lead to the kingdom enriching its own fuel for civilian reactors, according to a US official.
