Summary
Donald Trump said the U.S. would destroy one Iranian bridge or power plant each time Iran fires on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, sharply escalating his deterrence threat.
The warning came after another wave of U.S. strikes on Iran, as Tehran air defenses opened fire over the capital and regional alerts sounded in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Iran also launched a missile attack on a Jordanian city near Israel, widening the confrontation beyond the Gulf shipping lane at the center of global energy flows.
The threat adds to mounting fears that fighting could spread from direct U.S.-Iran strikes to maritime disruption in Hormuz and neighboring chokepoints.
