U.S. President Donald Trump demanded immediate action from Iran's new leadership and threatened to destroy the country's bridges and power plants.

Trump wrote on the social media platform "Truth Social": "Our armed forces—the most powerful and strongest in the world—have not even begun destroying everything remaining inside Iran. Next are the bridges, then the power stations! The new leadership knows what needs to be done, and must act swiftly."

Mojtaba Ferdowsipour, head of Iran's diplomatic interests mission in Egypt, said in an interview with Sputnik News that Iran has compiled a list of vessels associated with U.S. and Israeli interests, which could become targets for attack.

"We have information on ships belonging to companies that assist the United States and Israel. This intelligence is handed over to the National Security Council. After approval by the council, it is transferred to Iran’s armed forces, who will then place these vessels on the target list for strikes," Ferdowsipour said.

Turkey has developed five alternative oil and gas transport routes bypassing the Strait of Hormuz to prepare for potential long-term crises.

Previously, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that new regulations for the Strait of Hormuz would include rules for both military and commercial vessels, and it is premature to discuss charging fees at this stage.

According to Turkish media Türkiye, "Turkey has established five different alternative routes around the Strait of Hormuz."

The report noted that these routes combine land and sea pathways.

The article pointed out: "Alternatives include routes passing through Iraq and Syria, as well as the Suez-Red Sea corridor."

Routes via Oman and longer detours around Africa are also under consideration. The report added: "Routes via Oman and the Cape of Good Hope are also being considered."

The article emphasized that diversifying routes aims to reduce the risk of supply disruptions.

The report stated: "These alternatives should ensure continuity of energy transportation during crises."
