Iran threatens to block more trade routes as US launches fresh strikes

President Trump warned that the U.S. will strike Iranian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, next week if Iran does not return to negotiations or reach a deal. Iran has issued its own threats in response, including regarding regional trade routes and infrastructure. U.S. strikes on Iran have continued for multiple consecutive nights, and more than $130 million in Iranian assets have been frozen.

Center outlets frame the story as a tit-for-tat escalation, giving roughly equal attention to both Trump's threats and Iran's counter-threats, and note additional details like frozen assets and the ongoing strike campaign. The right-leaning outlet centers almost exclusively on Trump's own words and posture, quoting his vow to continue strikes 'until I say it's enough' and highlighting his framing of upcoming targets as 'energy targets,' without mentioning Iran's response.
