President Donald Trump said the US will resume attacks on Iran after insufficient progress in negotiations to end the war, APA reports citing CNN.
“We’re going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Wednesday, suggesting Iran’s downing of a US Apache helicopter is pretext for the renewed strikes.
“Based on the helicopter, I guess we have the right to do that,” he told reporters.
He added: “We hit them hard yesterday. We’re going to hit them again hard today, in case you miss it, in case you don’t turn on your television set, and we’ll see what happens with the deal.”
Trump bemoaned slow-going talks with Tehran on an agreement to end the war, which he said were ongoing.
“I’ve been working with Iran for a number of months,” he said. “They should sign the deal. It’s a good deal.”
“It was just tap, tap, tap,” he said. “I don’t know what they’re doing.”
Later, he declined to rule out strikes on civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, venting frustration that Iran hasn’t yet signed off on a deal.
“They’re tapping and tapping, and they say, ‘All right, let’s give them a couple of more days,’” he said. “They’re tapping because it’s a meaningful paper.”
