US President Donald Trump said that the United States will target Iranian power plants and bridges next week, during an interview with Fox News's Trey Yingst on Wednesday.
"We're going to hit them very hard tonight. We're going to hit them very hard tomorrow night. We're going to hit them very hard the night after," said Trump. "Will save energy targets for last. Next week it gets really bad for them."
"We're gonna knock out all their power plants," he said. "We're gonna knock out all their bridges, unless they get to the table and negotiate."
Trump added that Iran has "no choice" but to agree to a deal, noting that US and Iranian representatives held talks on Tuesday.
“I said, you better make a deal," noted Trump. "You're not going to have anything left.”
President Trump also alluded to the effect of recent US Central Command (CENTCOM) strikes on the Islamic regime along the Strait of Hormuz.
"We're beating them up really badly," Trump said. "They have to be beaten up."
Trump: US strikes successful, 'hard to find' new targets
"We're hitting them very, very hard," he added. We're hitting every single thing they have along the [Hormuz] shore."
Trump noted the success of the renewed US military operations in the region, saying that it is "hard to find" targets left to strike.
Trump added that he "doesn't like the idea" of charging a fee in the Strait of Hormuz, noting that Iran prefers to "spend a lot of money in the United States."
He said that US strikes against Iran would continue “until I say it’s enough,” stressing that American goals in the region have been "completed."
The US president described his proposed deal with Iran as a "wall" which would prevent the regime from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
"What they [Iran] signed with Obama was a worthless piece of paper that was a road to a nuclear weapon," he claimed. "They will not have a nuclear weapon."
Trump: 'Everything' Iran says 'is a lie'
Regarding Iranian claims of not pursuing a nuclear weapon, Trump responded that "everything" Iran says "is a lie."
Trump said that his decision to launch Operation Epic Fury on February 28 was because Iran's effort to obtain a nuclear weapon "just never stops."
"We knew they wanted a nuclear weapon," he said. "If they had a nuclear weapon, Israel wouldn't be here."
He further claimed that the US and Iran had discussed the nuclear issues during recent negotiations despite Iranian claims to the contrary.
