U.S. President Donald Trump again hinted at the possibility of a high-intensity strike on Iran, saying next he would attack bridges and power plants.
On the 3rd (local time), President Trump said in a Truth Social post, "Our military, the greatest and most powerful in the world, has not even begun the work of destroying what remains in Iran."
He added, "Next are bridges, then power plants," and "The new regime leadership [in Iran] knows what needs to be done. It must be done swiftly." It is seen as signaling a possible strike on Iran to pressure negotiations.
The same day, U.S. forces carried out an airstrike on a 136-meter-high bridge connecting Tehran, the Iranian capital, and Karaj, blowing up the bridge.
The previous day, in a national address, President Trump also demanded a deal with Iran, warning, "Over the next two to three weeks, we will deliver an extremely powerful blow and return Iran to the Stone Age."
Iran, however, hit back, saying it would "continue the war until there is eternal regret and surrender," and has continued airstrikes against neighboring Gulf countries.
