Iran warns Trump of 'devastating retaliation' over bridge/power plant threats

Iran's military warns President Trump of 'more devastating retaliation' if the US attacks Iranian civilian infrastructure again, following Trump's threat to hit power plants and bridges on Tuesday (April 7, 2026). The warning comes from Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the operational command of Iran's armed forces. Spokesperson stated: 'If attacks on civilian targets are repeated, the next stages of our offensive and retaliatory operations will be much more devastating and widespread.'

Trump's Tuesday threat, posted on Truth Social, said: 'Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in ⁠Iran.' The sworn-laden post escalates ongoing US-Iran tensions, with subheadings in the report suggesting recent Israeli strikes on Iran and previous Strait of Hormuz threats.

The World News War report makes no mention of direct impact on Nigeria or West Africa. However, prolonged Middle East tensions could eventually affect global oil markets and shipping routes that include Nigerian crude exports. Nigerians should monitor developments through official channels and reputable news sources as the situation continues to evolve rapidly.
