US strikes on Iran will continue until objectives are met, Trump says
United States President Donald Trump says the US strikes against Iran will continue until he says it is enough, threatening to target Iran’s bridges and power plants.
Trump, who issued this threat on Tuesday during an interview with Fox News, did not rule out the possibility of a ground campaign in Iran.
He delivered mixed messages over the state of negotiations with Iran, saying that he does not want to negotiate, stressing that the strikes will continue unless Iran negotiates.
The president also pointed out that the US negotiators had communicated with Iran Tuesday afternoon and demanded they make a deal.
Speaking on the US strikes and what is next for the war, Trump said: “They’ll continue until I say it’s enough … You know the word the military likes to use is degrade. They’ve been degraded to a very low level.”
When asked if his objectives could be completed in an air campaign alone, he claimed his objectives were already completed.
