Trump threatens to bomb Iranian bridges and power plants after any Hormuz attack
Breaking Points
Oil HITS $100 As Houthis LIGHT UP Red Sea
What was said
"From this point forward, anytime the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the street 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 Thyron."
Breaking Points host Saagar Enjeti reads out what he describes as a Trump Truth Social post warning that any Iranian attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz would trigger US strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants near Tehran. Enjeti frames the message as an escalation in rhetoric as oil prices rise and regional tensions increase.
