Donald Trump has threatened to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant for every tanker targeted by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Is the war about to escalate further?
$37B is a lot of money but even that seems like an undercount to me, I have a feeling they're not counting the cost of replacing all the munitions and aircraft they've lost
Trump inherited a sound nuclear deal back in 2017 but he shat all over it just because Obama was behind.
It's very easy to destroy things, but it takes a true leader to create something sound...
Now we see the true costs of Trump's leadership with global inflation and lives lost
Another day, another threat. Does anyone actually keep track of the bill for all this? Feels like we're just playing a high-stakes game of chicken with the global economy. Hope someone's thinking about the actual cost here.

Heavy stuff today. That threat about the bridges and power plants really cranks up the tension in the region. Do we think this is just posturing, or are we looking at a serious escalation? Who's your take on this?

I hope Iran sorts them both out , total hypocrites.
