U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that Washington could intensify military operations against Iran if Tehran does not return to negotiations, according to remarks made during an interview with Fox News.
Trump said the United States would consider targeting key infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, if Iran refuses to resume talks and reach an agreement. He described the coming days as potentially “very difficult” for Tehran should diplomatic efforts fail.
The president’s comments come amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, with both sides exchanging sharp rhetoric over regional security and the future of negotiations.
Asked how long any potential military campaign would continue, Trump said operations would persist until U.S. objectives had been achieved, emphasizing that the decision would depend on developments on the ground.
The latest remarks have added to concerns over the risk of further escalation in the Middle East, particularly as the Strait of Hormuz remains a focal point of regional tensions and global energy security.
Neither the White House nor Iranian officials immediately commented further on the remarks. The reported threats and any related military plans have not been independently verified.
