Trump threatens attack of power plants in Iran

Donald Trump has threatened Iran with large-scale infrastructure attacks if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. In a social media post, he said the US will target power plants and bridges in the coming days.

The US president is reacting to the blockade of the strategic strait, which is key to global oil supplies. His words indicate Washington's readiness for further military action.

The situation is also complicated by the recent incident of the downed American plane, whose pilots were rescued.

Trump has announced that he will discuss the next course of action at a press conference. Tensions between the US and Iran thus continue to rise.
