Trump threatened Iran with new strikes and announced that three aircraft carriers are on standby

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. military could resume strikes against Iran if Tehran does not agree to a new nuclear deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Trump, Washington expects Iran to sign a “very serious agreement.” He also assured that U.S. forces in the region are on high alert.

 The U.S. president noted the presence of three aircraft carriers and stated that the U.S. military has already identified potential targets for new attacks. These include energy facilities and transportation infrastructure, specifically 38 bridges, which, he said, could be destroyed within an hour.

At the same time, Trump said he would not want to destroy Iran’s infrastructure, as rebuilding it could take about ten years.
