President Donald Trump told Fox News on Tuesday he would expand US strikes on Iran next week to target power plants and bridges if Tehran does not make a deal.
– “Next week it gets really bad for them because next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges,” Trump said in an interview with the US broadcaster.
– “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.”
– Trump’s comments came as US forces carried out strikes against Iran for a fourth day in a row and reimposed a naval blockade on the country’s ports.
– A fragile June 17 ceasefire between the two sides has effectively collapsed, with the focus on control of the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
– Asked how long the US strikes would carry on, Trump replied: “They’ll continue until I say it’s enough.”
