U.S. President Donald Trump said late Thursday that American forces have yet to begin fully destroying what remains of Iran’s infrastructure, suggesting that future military actions could target bridges, power plants and other critical systems.
The comment, made on Trump’s social media platform, comes amid an ongoing and intensifying military campaign against Iran that has already lasted over a month.
“Our military hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran,” Trump wrote, adding that bridges and electric power plants could be next if Tehran does not meet U.S. demands.
The statement followed Trump’s earlier televised address where he claimed U.S. forces have weakened Iran’s military capabilities but suggested more forceful measures remain on the table.

The ongoing conflict — dubbed Operation Epic Fury by the U.S. — began in late February with coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear-linked sites.
Iranian authorities say the attacks have killed and injured civilians, while Tehran has repeatedly launched missiles and drones at U.S. and allied positions across the Middle East.
International responses remain mixed. Some U.S. allies express concern about the humanitarian impact of expanding strikes on civilian infrastructure, while global markets have reacted to the instability by driving up oil prices. Iran continues to assert its resistance and has pushed back against calls for unconditional surrender.
Analysts warn that further escalations — especially against non-military targets — could broaden the conflict beyond its current scope, complicating diplomatic efforts to end hostilities and increasing risks to regional stability.
