US President Donald Trump says he may order fresh strikes on Iran’s power plants and bridges, saying that Tehran is taking too long to reach a deal.

“I may keep going,” he says in comments in a phone interview, cited by Fox News. “They had a chance to sign a deal and survive.”

The reported comments come shortly after the US president said on Truth Social that Iran has “taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them. Now they will have to pay the price!”

Overnight, the US carried out strikes on Iran in retaliation for the downing of an American military helicopter. Iran responded with strikes on several US military bases in the region.
