President Trump refused to state publicly whether US strikes would target Iranian bridges and power plants, when asked by reporters. The remark comes one day after he warned that such infrastructure could be struck if negotiations fail.
President Trump declined to elaborate on potential targeting of Iranian power plants and bridges, hours after signaling such infrastructure could be struck as part of an expanded campaign. The development contrasts with Trump's earlier warnings, including an interview where he said he was 'close to ordering' strikes on power plants and bridges, and reports that the US is preparing another wave of strikes with power plants high on the target list. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Trump had signaled an expansion of the strike campaign to include civilian infrastructure, framing it as a response to stalled negotiations. The refusal to confirm or deny specific targets leaves the scope of the next wave unclear.
