US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike Iran's bridges and power plants next week if the country does not return to talks.

The comments, made in a Fox News interview, aired as the two countries exchanged fire for the fourth day in a row.

Trump earlier reversed a threat of a 20% fee on all Strait of Hormuz cargo shipping but resumed blockading Iranian ports.

"Next week it gets really bad for them," Trump said. "We're going to knock out all their power plants. We're going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate."

Back in April, Trump threatened to bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran, including bridges and power plants.

UN human rights chief Volker Türk responded at the time by saying: "Under international law, deliberately attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime."

The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians.

"I'll save the energy targets for last, but ultimately we'll hit energy targets," Trump said in an interview on Special Report with Bret Baier that aired on Tuesday night.

He said US negotiators had conveyed to their Iranian counterparts on Tuesday evening that they "better make a deal, or you're not going to have anything left".

The escalation in rhetoric comes after Trump said a 20% toll he had threatened to impose in the Strait of Hormuz would be replaced by "massive" trade and investment deals with Gulf states.

The announcement came hours before the US military carried out a seven-hour wave of strikes on Iran and resumed a blockade of its ports.

US Central Command (Centcom) said it hit "dozens" of Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz, with the aim to "further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping and civilian crews".

At least seven Iranian military personnel were killed in US strikes on a base in the southeastern city of Bampur, Iran's army said on Wednesday.

Threatening mopol

Long talk, how long will it take you to know that the language this people understand is kaboom kaboom

Trump and his friends are all making money off these war by shorting and longing crude oil

Make Iran sef threaten to bomb critical infrastructure in US and countries helping US Na.

All Talk, No bite.

Trump should fvck off with his threats.

This war again....anyway,after war comes peace

US is only interested in striking their infrastructure and installations.
But Israel would first go for the govt officials, military personnel, nuclear scientists etc because they don't want the ordinary civilians to suffer

Empty mouth since when.

Wasting USA tax funds in meaningless war

American farmers can no longer export soy bean to China, the major importer of their products due to the trade war.

Look like Iran has already anticipated the bombing of the power plant already..

last week bro claimed they were begging for a deal and now threatened them if they don't negotiate not even mentioning Iran was attacked three times before during negotiations.

So Trump wan use force to talk

America don't negotiate with terrorists , now den dey force to dialogue with people den label terrorists

Gen Trump is Truly a Dictator, Iran Must Resume Talk By Fire By Foece

Omo.
Na by force to talk?


Simply bomb the terrorist country to smithereens and install a reasonable democratic government or restore the former monarchical system they had before now.

This Trump na talkative.

The Americans don't know something about jeehardeests:
Jeehardeests don't care about what you care for.

Trump has yet to realize that the IRGC and Gaza terrorists don't care about the bridges and plants.
In fact, left to themselves, they will gather their children and women inside there for maximum casualty.

Loss is their aim.
It doesn't matter whose side.
They just want losses.

Trump makes Iran more emboldened and powerful more often than not.

Why pressuring them for negotiation

Is it by force to talk? This man is clearly insane. If he dares bomb any of Iran's Civil infrastructure, Iran has the liberty to wipe out every refinery and crude oil drilling platforms in US aligned gulf countries. The only language Trump understands is that if crude brutal force. Iran should force the price of international crude to go up by sabotaging as many crude oil export terminals as it can in the gulf.

Trump you talk too much...

1 more character remaining

This is an outdated news.

He started bombing them since the past 4 days in a row.

Iran is receiving it left, right and center now. I really pity Iran. With the way things are going, Iran will be a bigger pic of Gaza in the next few months honestly.

IRGC are clowns. Their only leverage is the strait of Hormuz. But US and some secret arab nations are levelling their ground to dust gradually.

They can't face Israel again, they know Bibi dey wait for them. They can only threaten Gulf nations that have not yet sent billions of dollars to them as compensation.

sigmax:
Make Iran sef threaten to bomb critical infrastructure in US and countries helping US Na.

Iran doesn’t have military bases in close proximity to US to carry out such attacks

I thought this unfortunate bully said severally that Iran was eager to make a deal, why forcing them to come for a deal now if really they were desperate to make deals in the past? Hahahaha. What a shameful man you are Trump!

Enough with All talk and no action. We still need your help here in Nigeria Mr. President.

The current leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran has only one agenda: "Death to America; death to Israel".
They can't commit to any peaceful agreement.
The earlier Trump knows this, the better his position when dealing with Iran. Netanyahu is miles ahead.

Iran has no leverage on the second phase of this war every military strike is conducted in a meticulous and conspicuous manner... they are receiving the heat from every angle they will hardly last with this form of coordinated strikes.

The USA should face their own country and leave the Middle East to sort itself.
Iran is a sovereign nation and this constant harassments by the United States needs to stop.
Since the start of this war, nothing positive has been achieved. Instead, things have only gone from bad to worse. Even for those not remotely close to the conflict zones or have connection to it.
Crude oil prices keep rising, cargo rates are getting higher, so many companies and consumers are facing a very difficult and uncertain future.
Enough is Enough.

America is tired of winning. Iran had better come for talks, or America will have no option than to continue to win.

This is why I love Israel 🇮🇱. No too much talk and drama, just maintain intensity. Bomb them to submission

Trump, pls, do it. These terrorists are too wicked to pamper them. Bomb all the "bombables"

Mattswaggz:
The only reason US have been lenient on them is because of the innocent ones amongst them that don't have anything to do with the IRGC......but it is now getting to the point where by more brutal methods will have to be put into place...they've given peace a chance and they've realized that these guys don't understand that language...the only language they understand is the language Netanyahu has been speaking to them all this while and as the grand master that he is, he was willing to nurture anyone willing to learn that language for free but instead they called him names and now the goose has come home to roast.....you don't show weakness when dealing with terrorists because once they've noticed that weakness they'll continue to exploit it over and over again.


Those mullahs in charge should be well aware that even using their people (whom they don't value at all) as human shield by forming human chains around those infrastructures like before might not be enough to stop the US this time around..... everyone wants peace but they're making it difficult for the world.

Is this now a conviction that Israel was really killing children and Women so much recklessness in Gaza?
