Trump:
US Could Take Out Iran's Bridges "In Less Than An Hour"
President Trump said in a Fox News interview this week that the US could destroy most of Iran's bridges within an hour and power plants within a day if Iran doesn't return to ceasefire talks — calling it leverage he's already communicated to Tehran directly.
The comments came during a fourth straight day of US strikes on Iranian military targets. On July 30, Iranian officials reported a strike destroyed the B1 bridge near Tehran, killing 8 and wounding 95 (unverified independently).
Trump acknowledged the human cost — citing ~91 million Iranians affected by power/bridge losses — as a reason for restraint so far. Iran's foreign minister said targeting civilian infrastructure "will not compel Iranians to surrender." The UN human rights chief has previously called such strikes a violation of international law.
Oil prices eased slightly on reports both sides may resume ceasefire talks.
