Trump threatens to strike Iranian bridges, power plants next week

U.S. President Donald Trump warned in a Fox News interview on July 14 that the U.S. would strike Iranian bridges and power plants next week if the country does not return to the negotiating table. Trump stated that a powerful strike would be launched against Iran in the coming days, followed by attacks on its infrastructure, and threatened to destroy all of the country's bridges and power plants if it refuses to negotiate. He also revealed that a U.S. negotiator had contacted an Iranian official on July 14, warning that Iran would face dire consequences if it did not agree to a deal. Trump emphasized that any military action would continue until he personally decided to end it. While noting that Iran's military has been significantly weakened, he compared the nation to a great boxer, acknowledging it still has the capacity to strike back. He also did not rule out the possibility of sending ground troops but offered no further details.
