[Trump Threatens to Strike Iranian Bridges and Power Plants to Pressure Iran to Resume Negotiations] US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News on the 14th that unless Iran returns to the negotiating table, the US military will strike its bridges and power plants next week. Trump said, "We're going to give them a big shove tomorrow and the day after, and by next week, things will be very bad for them because the targets will be bridges and power plants. Unless they sit down and negotiate, we're going to destroy all their bridges and power plants." Trump claimed that US negotiators spoke with Iranian officials on the 14th, informing them that an agreement should be reached, or "you will cease to exist." Trump said the US military strikes against Iran will continue until "I've said enough." He stated that Iran's strength has been severely weakened, but it still has the ability to fight back. He likened Iran to a "great boxer," saying, "You think you've beaten him, but then he suddenly counterattacks and gives you a big punch." Trump also indicated that he did not rule out the possibility of sending ground troops to Iran. However, he did not elaborate further. (Xinhua)
