An Iranian military source warned that if the US attacks Iranian bridges or
power plants, Tehran would retaliate by striking infrastructure and bridges
across the Middle East, including energy facilities with US interests. The
comment was a direct response to President Trump’s recent warning that the US
would destroy a bridge or power plant for each attack on ships in the Strait.
The source said vessels that coordinate with Iran and follow its arrangements
can transit the Strait of Hormuz safely; otherwise Iran will maintain its
determination to control the strait, which it says is vital to its long-term
security.
