US President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday, July 28, that talks with Iran are ongoing and “going well,” while reiterating a warning that, if negotiations fail, the US will target key Iranian infrastructure, including “Kolang Mountain,” major bridges, and power plants.
Speaking to Fox News, Trump said he would prefer not to take such action but emphasized that, if Tehran fails to reach an agreement, Washington could destroy a significant portion of Iran’s vital infrastructure within a short period.
“I could knock out all their power plants in one day,” he said. “About 91 million people would be left without electricity and without bridges. But if I can avoid doing that, I’d prefer for it not to happen.”
The US president also warned that most of Iran’s major bridges could be destroyed “in under two hours,” adding that officials of the Islamic Republic are well aware that the threat will be carried out if no agreement is reached.
Referring to a memorandum signed between Tehran and Washington in May, which he noted had nearly collapsed during the conflict in July, Trump asserted that the US would no longer allow Iran to violate agreements.
