Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Trump warned that without a return to negotiations, &quot;next week it gets really bad for them&#8230; next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges.&quot; Just days later, that&#8217;s exactly what happened.<br \/>\nThis marks the fourth consecutive day of U.S. strikes on Iran as of this week, with CENTCOM previously hitting missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and coastal defense systems over a single seven-hour span. Trump has said he&#8217;ll maintain &quot;the relentless pace of attacks&quot; until he determines it&#8217;s &quot;enough.&quot;<br \/>\nThe human cost is climbing: Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said at least 30 civilians have been killed in recent days from U.S. strikes on southern Iran, according to state media, following earlier reports of at least 14 killed and more than 70 injured over a two-day period.<br \/>\nThis escalation follows the U.S. reimposing a naval blockade on Iranian ports and Iran threatening to cut off regional energy exports in response \u2014 both tied to the ongoing fight for control of the Strait of Hormuz, which carried about a fifth of global oil and gas shipments before the war.<br \/>\n\u26a1 In this video:<\/p>\n<p>What infrastructure the US just targeted and why<br \/>\nTrump&#8217;s exact threat and how it played out<br \/>\nThe civilian toll of the ongoing strikes<br \/>\nWhat this means for the broader Iran-US conflict<\/p>\n<p>#Iran #Trump #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #StraitOfHormuz<\/p>\n<p>Long-tail SEO keywords (comma-separated):<br \/>\nus strikes iran power plants july 2026, trump next week power plants bridges threat, us targets iran infrastructure escalation, centcom strikes iran bridges power grid, iran civilian casualties us strikes 2026, trump iran ultimatum negotiations, fourth day us strikes iran, iran power plant blackout us attack, us iran war infrastructure targeting, strait of hormuz us iran conflict, iran energy exports threat retaliation, trump relentless pace attacks iran, fatemeh mohajerani iran casualties statement, us iran war escalation timeline july 2026, iran power grid damage assessment<br \/>\nWhat this means for the broader Iran-US conflict<\/p>\n<p>#Iran #Trump #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #StraitOfHormuz<\/p>\n<p>Want to create live streams like this?
