Iran-US war latest: Tehran warns of ‘devastating’ response if Trump follows through on swear-laden threats
Iran has warned of a “much more devastating” retaliation after Donald Trump threatened to target civilian infrastructures if Tehran doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump told Iran to “open the f***in’ Strait” or face “living in hell” in an extraordinary swear-laden rant on Sunday. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” the president wrote. “There will be nothing like it.”Trump followed that message with a cryptic post that appeared to set a deadline for his threats, reading simply: “Tuesday, 8pm Eastern Time!”
The Iranian military responded with a statement warning that “if attacks on civilian targets are repeated, the next stages of our offensive and retaliatory operations will be much more devastating and widespread.”
The Iranian parliament’s speaker told Trump that “the only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending this dangerous game”.US Central Command said strikes on Iran continue. Earlier, Trump and the Pentagon confirmed that a US airman stranded in Iran after his jet was downed had been rescued alive.
