President Donald Trump teased more aggressive strikes against Iran in the coming days, hinting that the U.S. military would begin targeting bridges and electric power plants in the country. The president’s message came a little over 24 hours after his address to the nation about the progress in Iran. Trump also urged the country’s “new regime leadership” to take action in an unspecified way and do “what has to be done.”
“Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran,” Trump said in his post. “Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!”
Trump’s threat to hit Iran’s bridges came hours after the president posted a video to his Truth Social account of the aftermath of airstrikes on Iran’s B1 highway bridge, believed to be the country’s largest bridge near the capital city of Tehran. The B1 bridge was reportedly the tallest in the Middle East.
“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow!” Trump posted. “IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!”

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to retaliate for the strike with state media mentioning targets in several Middle Eastern countries, including bridges in Abu Dhabi, Jordan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
“The bridges include Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Bridge in Kuwait, King Fahd Causeway linking Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, Sheikh Zayed Bridge and Al Maqta Bridge in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Bridge) and Damia Bridge (Adam Bridge) connecting Jordan and the West Bank, Sheikh Khalifa Bridge in Abu Dhabi, and Abdoun Bridge in Amman, Jordan,” reported Iran International.
