Donald Trump has threatened to bomb bridges and electric power plants in Iran in what appears to be a new push for Tehran to sign a deal.
The US military “hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. His post said that Iran’s leadership “knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!”
His new warning comes after he told Iran it must “make a deal before it is too late”, as he celebrated the partial destruction of Iran’s largest bridge.
At least eight people were killed and about 95 people were injured in the attack on the bridge.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi issued a fresh warning to Trump in return, saying attacks on civilian infrastructures “will not compel Iranians to surrender”.
He added: “It only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray. Every bridge and building will be built back stronger. What will never recover: damage to America’s standing.”
