United States (U.S.) President, Donald Trump, said that the U.S. would expand its strikes on Iran to target power plants and bridges next week unless Tehran agrees to negotiate.
“Next week, it gets really bad for them because next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges”, Trump said.
“We’re going to 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. president said that Iran’s military has been “degraded to a very low level” after repeated U.S. strikes and that the attacks will continue “until I say it’s enough.”
Trump’s remarks came amid the latest escalation of the conflict between the United States and Iran.
On Tuesday, U.S. forces launched another round of strikes against Iranian targets for a fourth day in a row and reimposed the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
“U.S. forces resumed the naval blockade against vessels transiting to and from Iranian ports and coastal areas,” the U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
