Trump Says Tuesday Will Be ‘Power Plant Day’ and ‘Bridge Day’ in Iran
President Donald Trump threatened fresh strikes on Iran’s infrastructure, warning that bridges and power plants could be targeted on Tuesday.
In the post, Trump wrote that Tuesday would be “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day” in Iran, while warning Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face severe consequences.
In the post, Trump wrote that Tuesday would be “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day” in Iran, while also threatening severe consequences if the strategic waterway remains blocked. The remarks marked one of his most direct public threats yet against Iranian civilian-linked infrastructure.
Trump had already warned a day earlier that Iran’s time to make a deal was running out, as Washington and Israel continued to press Tehran to reopen the strait and scale back its military response. Reuters has reported that U.S. intelligence does not expect Iran to ease its chokehold on the waterway anytime soon.
The latest threat comes as the war continues to widen, with fighting increasingly spilling beyond military targets and into energy, shipping and civilian infrastructure across the region. The Strait of Hormuz normally carries about one-fifth of the world’s oil trade, making it one of the conflict’s most sensitive flashpoints.
Countries across the Middle East and beyond have warned that further escalation could deepen instability, disrupt global energy supplies and draw more states into the conflict, especially if attacks expand to critical infrastructure.
Legal and humanitarian concerns have also intensified. Reuters reported earlier that dozens of legal experts warned that attacks on civilian objects such as bridges and electric power plants could violate international humanitarian law.
Trump’s rhetoric has added to fears that the conflict may be entering a more dangerous stage, with direct threats now extending beyond military assets to infrastructure essential to daily civilian life.
The latest warning underscores how rapidly the confrontation is escalating, with consequences that could reach far beyond the battlefield and further destabilize the wider region.
