Trump says US blew 3 of Iran's 'big bridges,' says Israel will stop 'when I stop'
President Donald Trump said that Iran is "eager" to make a deal and revealed that the U.S. "blew up their three big bridges last night," in an interview with TIME Magazine Thursday.
"Why wouldn't they call? We just blew up their three big bridges last night," the President said. "They're getting decimated. They say Trump is not negotiating with Iran. I mean, it's sort of an easy negotiation."
In a photo posted to the X account of Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the B1 bridge between Karaj and Tehran, Iran is seen damaged by a strike on the structure.
When pressed about whether Israel would stop when the U.S. stops the war, Trump said that they will "stop when [he stops]," but added that they would stop unless "they're provoked."
"They'll do what I tell them. They've been a good team player. They'll stop when I stop. They'll stop unless they're provoked, in which case, they'll have no choice, but they'll stop when I stop," Trump said about the Israelis, according to Time.
