President Donald Trump said the U.S. will strike Iranian power plants and bridges next week if Iran does not return to negotiations, according to Israel Hayom. The threat follows a statement minutes earlier vowing strikes over the next three nights, now specifying the timeline for infrastructure targets.
President Donald Trump has specified that the U.S. will target Iranian power plants and bridges next week if Iran does not engage in negotiations, according to a report by Israel Hayom. The statement, made early Wednesday, refines the timeline from an earlier threat minutes before in which Trump vowed to strike Iran 'hard tonight, tomorrow, and the day after' (as The Zioneer reported at 01:18 Jerusalem). The infrastructure phase now appears set for a separate week-long window, escalating the pressure on Tehran as diplomatic efforts stall. The earlier bulletin noted that the final stage of the strikes would focus on power plants and bridges if talks fail; this message confirms that timeline as 'next week.' No independent verification of the strike plan is available, and it remains unclear whether the U.S. military has received orders to prepare for such operations.
