Trump's threat to Iran: Next week will be "really bad"

US President Donald Trump is threatening Iran that it will be "really bad for them" next week if no peace agreement is signed. He says this in an interview with Fox News.

- We will knock out all their power plants. We will destroy all their bridges if they do not come to the negotiating table, he said.

The statement comes after the countries have attacked each other for several days in a row. The United States has attacked targets in Iran, while Iran has responded by attacking American targets in several countries in the Middle East.

During the night, the United States has carried out a wave of attacks on Iran that lasted for seven hours, before ending at 04:00, writes CNN.
