US President Threatens New Strikes Targeting Infrastructure in Iran

US President Donald Trump announced that his administration is close to issuing orders for new military strikes targeting vital infrastructure in Iran, including energy facilities and bridges, in a clear indication of escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. These threats follow Trump's earlier announcement of a military response against Iranian targets, which he described as "very strong and effective." In a related context, the US military command announced a heightened state of alert across all its bases in the Middle East, in anticipation of any potential repercussions or field developments following this escalation.
