U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of additional strikes targeting Iran's power plants and bridges.
Trump said in an interview with Fox News on the 10th (local time) that he "could order additional strikes on Iran's power plants and bridges." He added, "It is taking far too long to reach a deal with Iran," and said, "An order for additional airstrikes is imminent."
Around the same time, Trump also voiced displeasure toward Iran on his social media, Truth Social. He said, "Iran's military is in a complete and total mess," adding, "Much of the military no longer even exists, and they are totally defeated. Iran is all talk and no action."
He also said, "They dragged out negotiating a deal that would have been very good for them, and now they will have to pay the price."
Earlier, as retaliation for Iran's downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter, U.S. forces carried out airstrikes targeting military facilities in southern Iran for about four hours from 5 p.m. Eastern time the previous day (6 a.m. on the 10th Korea time).
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it struck U.S. military outposts in three neighboring countries—Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait—in retaliation for the U.S. airstrikes.
