President Donald Trump stated he will not set a specific deadline before attacking Iran's bridges, but he urged the country to "act properly."


On July 15, in response to a question from reporters about whether he would impose a separate deadline before attacking Iran's bridges, Trump said, "I don’t like to set deadlines." He added, "They know the situation well," and warned, "It would be better for them to act properly."


In an interview with Fox News the previous day, Trump indicated that if no agreement is reached with Iran, the U.S. could target power plants and bridges as soon as next week. This suggests a potential expansion of targets from military facilities to critical infrastructure.


On the same day, U.S. forces conducted additional airstrikes against Iran, targeting coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch facilities near Greater Tunb Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
