Trump Threatens to Bomb Iran’s Power Plants and Bridges Today as US-Iran War Hits Critical Escalation
In a dramatic White House press conference on April 7, 2026, President Donald Trump issued his strongest warning yet in the ongoing US-Iran war, declaring that “Tuesday will be power plant day” unless Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz immediately. The high-stakes deadline has sent shockwaves across global markets and pushed the nearly six-week-old conflict to the brink of even greater escalation.
According to live updates from multiple US and international outlets, Trump repeated his threat to target Iranian civilian infrastructure—including power plants and bridges—if Tehran does not comply by this evening. “The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,” the President stated, emphasizing that the US military has detailed plans for every target. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and top Pentagon officials held a briefing confirming the largest volume of strikes in the conflict so far, even as US forces successfully rescued a second downed F-15E airman from deep inside Iran territory.
The rescue operation, described by Trump as “one of the most daring in U.S. history,” comes after an Iranian attack downed the American fighter jet last week. Both crew members are now safe, but the incident has only heightened tensions. Iran has rejected US ceasefire proposals and continues missile and drone strikes on key sites in the Gulf region, while US-Israeli strikes on Monday killed at least 34 people inside Iran.
Why the Strait of Hormuz Matters The narrow waterway carries nearly 20% of global oil trade. Iran’s closure of the strait in response to the war has already spiked energy prices worldwide. Trump made it clear: reopen the strait or face “complete demolition.” Pentagon sources say B-2 Spirit stealth bombers are on standby for potential precision strikes on energy infrastructure.

What Happens Next? As the 5:30 PM (IST) / evening US deadline approaches, the world watches whether diplomacy or devastating strikes will define the next 24 hours. US officials have warned that failure to reach a deal could lead to the most intense phase of the Iran war yet.
