"Power Plants Will Be Bombed if Vessels Attacked"... "No One Will Be Able to Sell Oil"

[Anchor]

US President Donald Trump has warned that if vessels are attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's power plants and bridges will be bombed. In response, while attacking a US military base in Jordan, Iran fired back, declaring that if it cannot sell its oil, no one else will be able to sell either.

As the armed conflict between the United States and Iran enters its 12th day, President Trump warned, "Every time Iran attacks a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, we will bomb one power plant or bridge."

He emphasized that the capital city of Tehran is also included among the targets.

Attending the repatriation ceremony for the remains of service members killed in the Middle East conflict in person, he stated that Iran will pay a heavy price.

Meanwhile, Israeli public broadcaster reported that the US has notified Israel that an attack on the "Pickaxe Mountain," designated as Iran's underground nuclear facility, will take place within days.

With US airstrikes leaving 53 dead and 592 injured in Iran so far, Iran has also continued its retaliation.

The Iranian military released footage claiming it attacked a US military base in Jordan with missiles and drones.

Through this, it claimed to have destroyed numerous new unmanned aerial vehicles and caused US casualties.

As Iran warned that "if we cannot sell oil, no one will be able to sell," and Yemen's Houthi rebels—who have declared a blockade of the Red Sea targeting Saudi Arabia—are also sending radio warnings to nearby vessels, tensions in both the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea are simultaneously rising.

Meanwhile, visiting the Philippines to attend the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting, US Secretary of State Rubio stated following the South Korea-US-Japan foreign ministers' meeting that contributing naval assets to the Strait of Hormuz would also benefit allies such as South Korea.

However, he noted that naval assets were not directly requested at the meeting and that it was not a core agenda item.
