Trump threatens to bomb Iranian bridges, power plants over ship attacks
Iranian official says Tehran would retaliate by targeting 'energy facilities in which the United States has interests'.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to strike bridges and power plants in Iran in response to attacks on ships, according to a report monitored from a public news feed.
The warning, reported by Al Jazeera Latest, comes amid rising tensions in the region after a series of maritime attacks. The feed summary also quotes an Iranian official as saying Tehran would retaliate by targeting “energy facilities in which the United States has interests,” signaling the possibility of a wider escalation if the confrontation deepens.
The exchange highlights the fragile security environment surrounding critical shipping routes and energy infrastructure. Threats involving infrastructure such as bridges and power plants carry the risk of broad disruption far beyond the immediate military exchange, potentially affecting civilian services and regional commerce.
The monitored feed provides limited detail on the timing, location, or specific nature of the ship attacks referenced in Trump’s remarks. It also does not indicate whether any military action has been carried out. Still, the rhetoric from both sides suggests that tensions remain high and that energy assets may be viewed as potential targets in any retaliation cycle.
