WASHINGTON — There were no signs of slowing in the Middle East as US President Donald Trump claimed his country was "winning big" in Iran during an address to the nation on Thursday.
In his speech on election security, the president said the US is "winning big in Iran and you will see the fruits of that labor very, very shortly".
The comments come as the US expanded its airstrike campaign against Iran early on Friday by hitting bridges as part of a broader attack on the nation's infrastructure to pressure Tehran to ease its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.
The US Central Command, or CENTCOM, confirmed completing a new set of strikes on military targets in Iran.
