Trump threatens Iran power plants as conflict escalates

Trump has declared US strikes on Iran will continue until he decides otherwise, with power plants and bridges next in line if Tehran refuses a deal over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has already responded by attacking US forces in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, and Trump's earlier retreat on Hormuz shipping tolls signals the conflict — now over four months old — has no clean exit. The threat to civilian infrastructure marks a sharp escalation from the war's initial phase.
