Liveblog Iranski rat: Nakon Trumpove prijetnje, Iran najavljuje odmazdu i blokadu nafte

Iran has announced plans for retaliation against potential U.S. attacks on its infrastructure, following President Donald Trump’s recent threats to destroy bridges and power plants in the country. The Iranian government has made this stance clear through official statements, warning that any aggression against its territory will provoke a powerful response. This comes after reports of U.S. military strikes on civilian infrastructure in Iran, which have raised concerns among international observers and regional allies. The escalation began with Trump’s public declaration that the United States would bomb Iranian infrastructure, specifically bridges and power plants, for every ship attacked by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. This threat was issued via his social media platform, Truth Social, and has intensified tensions between the two nations. In response, Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghtschi, stated on the platform X that Iran’s defense doctrine is clear: “Auge um Auge,” meaning eye for an eye. He emphasized that any attack on Iranian infrastructure would result in a decisive and strong countermeasure. Similarly, Mohammad Bagher Kalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator, warned that no one in the region could sell oil unless Iran allowed it, suggesting that the security of the strategic waterway depends on the absence of U.S. forces. These warnings come amid ongoing reports of U.S. military actions targeting Iranian infrastructure. While the U.S. has not officially confirmed these strikes, several media outlets have cited intelligence sources indicating that American forces have already struck multiple bridges and a civilian airport in Iran. In reaction, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against targets in allied Gulf states, including Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. These strikes appear to be part of a broader strategy to deter further U.S. aggression and assert control over the region’s critical maritime routes. International responses to the escalating conflict have been mixed. Iran’s UN ambassador described the U.S. attacks as acts of war and violations of international law, while UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed concern over the targeting of civilian infrastructure. The U.S. military, however, has defended its actions, stating that it has successfully neutralized numerous “military targets” using precision munitions, including air defense systems and coastal radar installations. Despite these claims, the humanitarian impact of such strikes continues to draw criticism from global human rights organizations. Meanwhile, the situation has taken a new turn with Bulgaria’s decision to temporarily host U.S. tankers at its military base in Besmer. The Bulgarian parliament approved the deployment of up to eight KC-135 refueling aircraft and 250 troops, with the operation set to run from July 24 to October 1. Defense Minister Dimitar Stojanow dismissed Iranian accusations that Bulgaria is complicit in “aggression and war crimes,” asserting that no offensive weapons systems will be stationed there and that the presence does not make Bulgaria a party to the conflict. The U.S. has pledged to minimize risks to national security, though local officials near the base have raised safety concerns and filed complaints. As the standoff between the U.S. and Iran intensifies, the risk of further escalations appears high. With both sides demonstrating willingness to escalate their posturing, the situation remains volatile, and the consequences of continued hostilities could extend far beyond the immediate region. The international community watches closely, hoping for de-escalation efforts that might prevent a larger confrontation.
