Donald Trump stated the US military's response to any Iranian targeting of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz would involve striking Iranian civilian infrastructure. The escalation follows an 11th night of strikes after diplomatic efforts to end the conflict broke down. Trump warned a bridge or power plant, even in Tehran, could face bombing should more attacks on vessels take place.
