WASHINGTON, JUN 10: US President Donald Trump said the United States may begin striking Iran’s power plants and bridges due to the Islamic regime “tapping the United States along” in talks, according to an interview with Fox News’s Trey Yingst on Wednesday.
“I may keep going,” Trump told Fox. “They had a chance to sign a deal and survive.”
He added that little progress has been made in negotiations between the two countries.
On Tuesday, Trump announced that the US “must” respond after Iran shot down a US Army Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.
“Last night, the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
Trump: Iran will ‘pay the price’
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump implied that he would take action against Iran for taking too long on a peace deal.
“The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!” wrote Trump in a Truth Social post. “They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!”
