Trump threatens Iran with strikes on 38 bridges, rules out resuming attacks

US President Donald Trump has ruled out resuming military strikes against Iran as long as negotiations with Tehran are making progress toward an agreement to end the conflict.

In a phone interview with CNN, Trump said the possibility of renewed attacks depends on Iran's willingness to sign what he described as a "very good" deal, adding: "It is highly unlikely that would be necessary," referring to a return to military action. The network did not specify the question he was responding to.

Trump noted that the United States has already identified potential targets within Iran's infrastructure, including 38 bridges that could be destroyed within an hour.

Later, Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that the US task force "Iron Gate" is operating at full capacity against Iran.

Reuters reported that the operation aims to restrict Tehran's ability to transfer advanced weapons and sanctioned materials across its land borders and the Caspian Sea.
