US President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social said, "Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP." [sic

Iran claimed its drafting a proposal with Oman to 'monitor' Strait of Hormuz. The comments by Kazem Gharibabadi, an Iranian diplomat, quoted by the state-run IRNA news agency, described the proposal as “intended to facilitate and ensure safe passage and provide better services to ships passing through this route.”

It is unclear what the proposal would mean. Oman did not immediately acknowledge it. The strait runs through Iranian and Omani territorial waters but is considered an international waterway that should freely allow ships to pass.

US President Donald Trump has escalated tensions with Iran, announcing on social media that a major bridge in Iran has been destroyed, with more attacks to follow. The bridge, connecting Tehran to Karaj. Trump warned Iran to negotiate or face further destruction, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that targeting civilian structures won't force Iran to surrender. 

The US and its allies are trying to broker a deal with Iran, including reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz, as the conflict approaches five weeks. 

Iran's attacks on Gulf states along with its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted the world's energy supplies with effects far beyond the Middle East. That has proved to be Iran's greatest strategic advantage in the war. Britain held a call with nearly three dozen countries about how to reopen the strait once the fighting is over.

Trump has insisted the strait can be taken by force — but said it is not up to the US to do that. In an address to the American people Wednesday night, he encouraged countries that depend on oil from Hormuz to “build some delayed courage” and go “take it.”
