Trump threatens to target Iran's power plants, bridges next week if talks not resumed

US President Donald Trump warned that Washington will begin targeting Iran’s power plants and bridges next week unless Tehran returns to the negotiating table.

“We’re going to 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,” Trump said during an interview with Fox News.

“And then next week, it gets really bad for them, because next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges. We’re going to knock out all their power plants. We’re going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate.”

He indicated that the US will leave “energy targets for last, but ultimately we’ll hit energy targets”, adding that Iran has “no choice” but to make a deal with Washington.
