US President Donald Trump has once again adopted a very aggressive stance against Iran and openly warned of strict military action. The US President has bluntly said that if the Tehran administration refuses to accept any agreement or deal with Washington, then the US military will destroy the country’s vital infrastructure, especially targeting bridges and power plants. This latest and sensational statement of Trump has come to light during a phone interview given to the prestigious American media organization Fox News, in which he has further increased the diplomatic and strategic pressure on Iran by openly discussing military options.

“Will not hesitate to destroy bridges and power plants”

While speaking to Fox News, US President Donald Trump clarified his aggressive strategy and said that if they do not make a deal, they will return and completely complete their remaining work, which will take Iran many long years to rebuild. Trump stressed that if Iran does not agree to a new deal, the US could resume its military campaign. He described strategically targeting bridges as a very strong and quick option. Along with this, he also placed Iran’s power plants on the top of the list of possible attacks and argued that the construction of power plants and big bridges are the most difficult and time-consuming infrastructure projects for any country, and attacking them would break the backbone of Tehran.

Clear refusal to attack desalination plants

Amidst his aggressive policy against Iran, Donald Trump also expressed his views on humanitarian aspects and made it clear that America will not make desalination plants the target of its attacks. Giving the reasoning behind this, he said that any such action will directly cause huge loss to the common citizens there. Trump said in a questioning tone during the interview that who do they want to hurt there because it will directly affect the general public, so they are not thinking of doing so at all. He clarified that their main target is only to destroy the military and strategic infrastructure, and not to put the common Iranian people in danger in any way.

What did Trump say on relations and intelligence with Netanyahu?

During this entire interview, US President Donald Trump also vehemently denied all those media reports which were claiming that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to share with America any intelligence related to reviving Iran’s nuclear program just before their upcoming meeting at the White House. Trump clarified that America is already keeping a close eye on every nuclear activity of Iran through its intelligence agencies and it does not need additional information from any other outside country. Commenting on Israeli PM Netanyahu, he said that there is no need for ‘Bibi’ to tell him this, rather Netanyahu is telling him all this because he wants America to be openly involved in this entire conflict. Trump also revealed that he heard Netanyahu making this announcement publicly and asked him directly why he needed to make this announcement to the world, he could have even said this directly.
