Donald Trump says he will order the destruction of one bridge or power plant each time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, as the conflict between the two countries continues to spiral.

"From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT," he wrote on his Truth Social network.

Mr Trump said this included Iranian facilities "located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran."

Mr Trump's threat came shortly before he headed to an airbase for the return of the remains of three US troops killed in Iranian attacks on American military facilities in the Gulf.
