Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that the United States would destroy one Iranian bridge or power plant, including facilities near Tehran, for each Iranian attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Al-Monitor and CBS News reported the statement, while Al-Monitor also cited a $37.5 billion cost to the United States from the conflict. Reports from Democracy Now describe a February 28 strike on a Minab primary school that killed at least 147 people and involved Tomahawk missiles, though verification of attribution remains limited.
