US President Trump declared that, before long, the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened “with ease,” at which point the US would “take the oil.” He also claimed that the US military “has not yet begun destroying Iran’s remaining facilities” and plans to launch follow-up strikes on Iran’s bridges and power plants. In response, the Iranian military issued a statement saying that if the US dares to take action against Iran’s infrastructure, Iran will destroy “all assets and infrastructure” of the US and Israel in the Middle East.
