Trump vows to bomb Iranian bridges and power | Political News

President Donald Trump threatened to bomb very important infrastructure in Iran until they do not have “anybody left” in a fiery interview with Fox News on Tuesday.

Last week, the president declared the ceasefire settlement between Washington and Tehran “over,” as the United States repeatedly launched airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, which has responded by focusing on American air bases in the Middle East. Tensions do not seem to be simmering down as Trump said the army will destroy bridges and power plants in the area to demoralize the population until officers strategy him with a deal.

“Next week comes the power plants, next week comes the bridges. We’re gonna knock out all their power plants, we’re gonna knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate,” he told the outlet.

Attacking essential infrastructure might quantity to a conflict crime, according to the Red Cross. However, President Trump reassured Americans that the army can be “very careful” not to hurt civilians, although he did not utterly rule out the chance.

“Next week comes the power plants, next week comes the bridges. We’re gonna knock out all their power plants, we’re gonna knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate, he added.

According to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Hill, the U.S. military carried out airstrikes against Iran on Tuesday for the fourth consecutive day, focusing on “rising threats” from Tehran.

According to the official, U.S. forces launched a “few” more strikes on military targets in Iran. This comes just hours after President Trump declared he would abandon his Monday proposal to impose a 20% toll on cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz and instead talk about trade and investment agreements with Gulf nations.

U.S. forces also resumed a maritime blockade against ships going to and from Iranian ports and coastal areas around 4 p.m. ET, according to U.S. Central Command.

According to a CENTCOM post on X, hundreds of military aircraft and more than 20 U.S. Navy warships are now operating in the Middle East.

“American forces stay vigilant, deadly, and prepared,” the command added.

According to GWN, which cited Iranian state media, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated on Tuesday that “not a single drop of oil and gasoline” would be exported from the area as long as U.S. “evil actions” continue.

According to the site, the IRGC claimed that its airstrikes on what it described as American facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait were reprisal for American strikes on Iran and cautioned that U.S. “aggressions” would merely postpone the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
