Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) threatened to destroy Iran’s bridges and energy infrastructure as the war dragged into its fifth week despite the US President’s claims of ongoing negotiations.
“Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, hinting of more military action to come.
“Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!,” the US President threatened, adding, “New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!”
Talks continue between Washington and Tehran
Trump’s comment comes amid reported talks between Washington and Tehran — Israel’s Channel 12 reported Thursday that indirect talks took place between US Vice President J D Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, adding that the negotiations were being mediated by Pakistani army chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
The most recent round of talks took place on Tuesday, when Vance allegedly told Tehran that Washington would be open to a ceasefire if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.
The Times of Israel reported that Vance also informed Tehran of Trump’s waning patience, evident in the US President’s latest social media post.
