President Donald Trump said he is considering expanding U.S. strikes on Iran to include power plants, according to a report Wednesday evening. The comment follows a day of escalating signals from the administration about targeting Iranian infrastructure.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that he may strike Iranian power plants, upping the ante in the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iran. The comment, reported by The Zioneer, comes as the administration has been discussing expanding strikes to new target categories.
Earlier Wednesday, The Zioneer reported that a senior U.S. official said Trump was discussing expanding strikes to Tehran and weighing a strategic bomber attack. Trump himself had previously warned of strikes on bridges and power plants on June 10, as The Zioneer reported at the time. The latest statement appears to confirm that power plants are now on the table.
No specific timeline for such an attack was given. The White House has not issued an official statement. The report is based on a single source.
