Iran's southern coast faces increased US attacks amid Trump bombing threat

Former President Donald Trump announced that the United States would target Iran’s civilian infrastructure with military strikes if a diplomatic agreement is not reached by the end of next week. The statement, made during a televised interview, referenced ongoing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and warned that continued deadlock would compel a “decisive” response to protect U.S. interests.

U.S. officials have not confirmed any change in policy, and the Pentagon declined to comment on the specifics of the alleged threat. The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions, with the original 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action still under scrutiny and recent diplomatic efforts focused on extending or revising the agreement. Analysts note that any decision to strike civilian targets would require authorization from the current administration and could have significant international ramifications.
