President Donald Trump says the United States will expand strikes on Iran next week to target power plants and bridges if Tehran does not reach a deal. Speaking on Fox News, Trump states the “power plants” are scheduled first, followed by “bridges,” and warns that the escalation will occur next week. He also says U.S. airstrikes will continue “until I say it’s enough,” while referencing “energy targets” as part of the planned approach.
Multiple outlets report that Trump’s comments come as U.S. forces conduct strikes for a fourth day and reimpose a naval blockade on Iranian ports. The reporting also notes that a fragile ceasefire dated June 17 has effectively collapsed, with tensions centered on control of the Strait of Hormuz. While the sources do not provide additional details on the specific timing of any targets beyond “next week,” they agree that Trump is setting conditions for a potential change in U.S. strike plans: negotiations with Iran.
