US President Donald Trump threatened Iran on Friday with destruction of more bridges, and after that Electric Power Plants, asking Tehran to do ”fast” what ”has to be done.”
Although he did not clearly specify what he meant by ”do fast what has to be done,” he implied he was asking Iran to make a deal.
”Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST,” he said on his social media platform.
Trump’s warning is part of a broader campaign–shifting targets from Iranian military facilities to civilian infrastructure, which has included attacks on steel plants, power substations, and pharmaceutical facilities.
Describing the US Military as the ”most powerful (by far) anywhere in the World,” Trump said they (US military) haven’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran.
Trump announced on Thursday night the destruction of Iran’s ”biggest bridge” and asked Tehran to make a deal before it is too late.
He warned that much more would follow before there is nothing left of what could still become a great country.
”The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! It is time for Iran to make deal before it is too late and there is nothing left of what still could become great country,” Trump said.
Although Trump did not give any more details, Iranian authorities said that at least eight people were killed and 95 others wounded in the attack on the bridge, according to Iran’s state television and Fars News Agency.
The bridge (B1 Bridge), also known as Tehran-Karaj Bridge, in the city of Karaj approximately 40 km west of Tehran, was hit be US and Israeli Air Force on Thursday. Iranian media and officials described it as the “tallest bridge in the Middle East”.
Part of the Karaj Northern Bypass, it was designed as a vital transport link to cut travel time between Tehran and Karaj from one hour to roughly 10 minutes.
The bridge was a landmark infrastructure project that was nearing completion when it was targeted.
