President Donald Trump has threatened strike on Iran’s infrastructure, including bridges and electric power plants.
Trump posted those threats on Truth Social late Thursday as he urged Iran to agree to a peace deal “FAST.”
“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. “Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP”
Earlier Thursday, Trump shared footage of an airstrike on a newly constructed bridge that was set to open to traffic later this, writing, “the biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again – Much more to follow!”
Axios reported U.S. defense officials said the strike was designed to prevent regime military forces from moving weapons.
The 1949 Geneva Conventions prohibit attacks on infrastructure deemed “indispensable to the survival of the civilian population”, Politico reported.
U.S. and Israeli forces have continued a bombing campaign against Iran.
There has been increasing frustration at the regime’s stoppage of access through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes.
The move has driven up gas and oil prices.
