Hormuz With a View: Trump Vows Tehran Turbines for Every Tanker, $BTC Slips Below $66K

President Donald Trump said the United States will bomb one bridge or power plant — including those next to or in Tehran — each time Iran attacks a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a Truth Social post, raising the prospect of strikes on Iranian infrastructure as the U.S.-Iran war continues to escalate. The statement followed reported violations of the MOU agreement between the two sides.

The warning came as oil prices climbed to a five-week high, reaching their highest levels since June, just before the last ceasefire agreement was signed in Islamabad, according to prior reporting. Disruption to global oil supply tied to the conflict has been cited as a factor in the latest move higher.

Bitcoin is trading below $66,000 today as the war escalates, slipping alongside broader risk-off positioning. The broader cryptocurrency market tracked the move lower, with traders watching the Strait of Hormuz as a key risk variable for energy and risk assets alike.

The post specified that the bridges and power plants targeted would include those located next to or in the capital city of Tehran, underscoring the escalation in stated U.S. policy toward Iranian infrastructure. Earlier CoinGape reporting noted that oil prices have hit a five-week high, hitting their highest levels since the June deal.

The situation remains fluid, with the U.S.-Iran war showing no signs of de-escalation and markets continuing to react to headlines out of the Strait of Hormuz.
