US President Donald Trump announced that he would like to "avoid targeting power plants and bridges in Iran."

And Trump added, in an interview with Fox News: "We have had good talks with Iran and it is better to reach an agreement with it instead of destroying the rest of the country."

He considered that we "may be in the midst of great talks, then Iran comes and says we are not talking or that we did not discuss the nuclear file," adding that we "cannot allow Iran to violate agreements any longer."

He continued: "There are many Republicans who want me to continue and proceed with military action against Iran, and if Iran does not make a deal with us, I will return and finish the job."

He noted that we "are in a very strong position against Iran, and I can destroy most Iranian bridges in less than one hour."

As for the possibility of America destroying Mount Axe in Iran, he said: "I do not need Netanyahu to tell me about Mount Axe, and the site of Mount Axe is not a big problem."

He opined that "Iran can plant some naval mines and cause chaos, but we control the Strait of Hormuz, and the naval blockade we are currently imposing on Iran is so strong that no one can break through it."

He affirmed that we "completely crushed Iran militarily. They have no navy, no air force, and their army has suffered very devastating blows."
