Washington, July 15 /Xinhua/ — U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that next week the United States will begin striking Iranian power plants and bridges if Tehran does not agree to negotiations.
“Next week will be very bad for them, because next week it will come down to power plants, … to bridges,” D. Trump said in an interview with Fox News. “We will take out all their power plants, … all their bridges, if they do not come to the negotiating table.”
The American leader stated that as a result of repeated strikes by the United States, Iran’s military capability has been reduced to a very low level and that the attacks will continue “until I say enough.”
D. Trump also told Fox News that his representatives recently contacted Iranian officials.
In response to the question about what message was conveyed to Iran, D. Trump replied: “You better make a deal. Otherwise, nothing will be left of you.”
Statements by D. Trump came amid the latest escalation of the conflict between the USA and Iran.
On Tuesday, for the fourth consecutive day, American forces carried out another series of strikes on Iranian targets and resumed the maritime blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
“Today at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, U.S. forces resumed the maritime blockade of vessels heading to or departing from Iranian ports and coastal areas,” says the statement from the U.S. Central Command.
Shortly before the blockade was imposed, US Armed Forces struck Iran again, aiming to “continue weakening Iranian capabilities used to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz,” the command reported. –0–
