Trump says US can destroy 38 bridges in Iran within an hour if hostilities resume

According to Ukrayinska Pravda, US President Donald Trump stated that the American military has identified 38 bridges in Iran that could be destroyed within an hour if hostilities resume. At the same time, he emphasized that he would prefer to avoid new strikes on Iranian infrastructure.

According to the American president, the US has outlined potential targets for new strikes against Iran, including power plants and bridges. Trump noted that new American strikes are highly unlikely if progress is achieved in negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear program and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Strategic targets and regional military presence

Detailing his perspective on the infrastructure, the US leader remarked that bridges take years to build and he considers himself a good builder, preferring not to destroy them. Meanwhile, the United States maintains three aircraft carriers in the region and remains ready to resume military operations if necessary.

• Thirty-eight bridges in Iran have been identified for potential destruction within one hour.
• Power plants and bridges comprise the primary targets outlined by the administration.
• Three US aircraft carriers are currently positioned in the region.

Assessing upcoming scenarios and diplomatic leverage

Axios previously reported that the US president is considering three scenarios regarding the war with Iran: concluding a peace agreement, resuming hostilities, or applying economic pressure. The head of the White House asserted that he is in no rush to make a final decision.
