Trump issues a 'power plant for a ship' warning to Iran amid strikes on vessels in Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump issued a new warning to Iran, stating that the US will "destroy" a power plant or a bridge in or next to Tehran for every strike it makes on the ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The warning came as the US and Iran continued their hostilities, with the Pentagon carrying out another wave of strikes on Tehran. Iran also hit a Jordanian city near Israel through a missile strike.

Trump sent a fresh warning to Tehran through a social media post. "From this point forward, 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," Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

Meanwhile, the US military carried out an 11th consecutive night of strikes on Iran early Wednesday, which intensified the tensions in the Middle East. This came despite the ongoing diplomatic efforts in Pakistan to revive a collapsed interim ceasefire.

"CENTCOM forces began striking military targets in Iran at 7 p.m. ET today for the 11th consecutive night. The strikes are designed to continue degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," the US Central Command said in a statement on X.
