Donald Trump has threatened to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant for every tanker targeted by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Is the war about to escalate further?
The promise to “bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant” every time Iran targets a ship in the Strait of Hormuz follows an eleventh night of US strikes on Iran and retaliatory attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. Donald Trump says Iran will “pay a big price”, but the cost of the war keeps mounting for the US, as well as the rest of the world.
