US Yet to Begin Full-Scale Destruction in Iran — Trump

United States President Donald Trump has warned that American forces have yet to begin what he described as the full-scale destruction of Iran’s remaining infrastructure, signalling a potential escalation in the ongoing conflict.

 

In a post on his Truth Social platform late Thursday, Trump said key national assets, including bridges and power facilities, were still being targeted.

 

“The US military hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then electric power plants!” he wrote.

 

The statement came hours after the US president claimed that Iran’s tallest bridge had already been destroyed in ongoing military operations.

 

Trump has repeatedly maintained that most of Iran’s major military targets have been significantly degraded or eliminated over the past month of fighting.

 

He also appeared to renew pressure on Tehran to agree to a ceasefire, suggesting that Iran’s leadership was aware of what needed to be done.

 

“Iran’s new regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!” he added.

 

The latest remarks are likely to heighten global concerns over further escalation, as fears grow about the broader geopolitical and economic impact of the conflict, particularly on energy supplies and regional stability.
