Trump says US will strike Iranian power plants, bridges next week if no deal reached

US President Donald Trump stated in a Fox News interview on Wednesday that the United States would target Iranian power plants and bridges next week if a deal is not reached. Trump indicated that the US would "hit them very hard tonight. We're going to hit them very hard tomorrow night. We're going to hit them very hard the night after," reserving "energy targets for last." He asserted that Iran has "no choice" but to negotiate, referencing recent US-Iranian talks. Trump also claimed that US Central Command strikes along the Strait of Hormuz have been successful, making it "hard to find" new targets. He described his proposed deal as a "wall" to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, stating, "They will not have a nuclear weapon." Trump also dismissed Iranian claims of not pursuing nuclear weapons, saying "everything" Iran says "is a lie."
