President Donald Trump threatened to expand military strikes on Iran, saying the country will face severe consequences if it fails to reach an agreement. In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Trump said the U.S. will continue to hit Iran “very hard” until it returns to the negotiating table.
Trump’s Warning
Trump warned that the U.S. will target Iran’s power plants and bridges if the country does not negotiate. “Next week it gets really bad for them because next week comes the power plants,” Trump said. “Next week comes the bridges. We’re gonna knock out all their power plants. We’re going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate.”
The U.S. has conducted consecutive strikes near the Strait of Hormuz over the past several days, and Trump said the operations will continue until he determines it is “enough.” Trump also reimposed the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports in the strait.
Trump expressed frustration over Iran’s tendency to break promises and warned the country will face severe consequences if it fails to reach an agreement. “They want to make a deal. But every time they make a deal, they break it,” Trump said.
