‘No end in sight’ if Trump acts on threat to destroy Iran infrastructure

What Happened
US President Donald Trump has set a Tuesday deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face widespread destruction of infrastructure including power plants and bridges. Analysts warn that attacking civilian infrastructure is illegal, unlikely to achieve US goals, and will likely trigger Iranian counter-escalation against regional energy facilities. Iran has threatened severe retaliation. Experts argue escalation will prolong the conflict rather than secure quick victory. Gas prices have risen to over $4.11 per gallon.
