Trump posted today: "Our military is the greatest and most powerful in the world—undoubtedly—and we haven't even started destroying what remains of Iran. Next are the bridges, then the power plants! The new leadership in Iran knows what to do, and must act quickly!"
Commentary: Trump claims he wants to end the war, yet his actions keep escalating, threatening to bomb bridges and power stations. At heart, he seeks a dignified exit while refusing to accept that Iran hasn’t been fully broken. Thus, he resorts to extreme pressure by targeting civilian infrastructure, attempting to force Iran into submission. This approach—combining threats with escalation, using warfare to compel surrender—will only make it harder to bring this conflict to an end.
Note: The U.S. military has already bombed Iran's Beyk Highway Bridge (the highest civilian bridge in the Middle East). Trump publicly threatened, "Next, we’ll hit the power plants and desalination facilities," aiming to force Iran’s surrender by destroying essential civilian infrastructure.
