(TIP): Doubling down on his threats to decimate Iran in his address to the American people on April 2, US President Donald Trump warned Iran of potential strikes on its infrastructure, including bridges and electric power plants, saying the US military \u201chasn\u2019t even started destroying what\u2019s left in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Thursday (local time), signaled a major escalation in the ongoing Operation Epic Fury, which began on February 28.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on Truth Social, he said, \u201cOur Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn\u2019t even started destroying what\u2019s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with Trump threatening to bomb Iran \u201cback to the Stone Ages\u201d if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has condemned the threats, calling them a strike on civilian infrastructure and warning of consequences for America\u2019s global standing. The situation has led to concerns over global energy supplies, with India, a major oil importer, seeking alternative sources, including increased imports from Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Hours before this post, US forces targeted and destroyed the B1 Bridge in Karaj (Alborz Province), reportedly the tallest bridge in Iran. Iranian state media has reported at least 8 deaths and 95 injuries from this specific strike, noting that many victims were travelers. Meanwhile, the spokesperson of Iran\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters said that a second US fifth-generation F-35 was struck and downed over central Iran by a new IRGC Aerospace Force air-defense system, as reported by Press TV. The report further said that given the massive explosion on impact and during the crash, the pilot is unlikely to have ejected.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, US CENTCOM said that USS Abraham Lincoln is still continuing flight operations.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on X, it said, \u201cUSS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) continues to conduct flight operations, both day and night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CENTCOM earlier fact-checked the IRGC.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on X, it said, \u201cCLAIM: Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it downed an \u201cenemy\u201d fighter jet over Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. FACT: All U.S. fighter aircraft are accounted for. Iran\u2019s IRGC has made the same false claim at least half a dozen times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth echoed US President Donald Trump\u2019s message of sending the Iranians back to the Stone Age.<br \/>In a post on X, he said, \u201cBack to the Stone Age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, during his address to the nation, said on April 2, \u201cI\u2019ve made clear since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury\u2013we will continue until our objectives are achieved. Thanks to the progress we\u2019ve made, I can say tonight\u2013we are on track to complete all of America\u2019s military objectives shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next 2-3 weeks. We are going to bring them back to the Stone Age.\u201d<br \/>(Syndicated feed)<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"mh-facebook\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theindianpanorama.news%2Fbreaking-news%2Fbridges-electric-power-plants-trump-threatens-irans-civilian-and-dual-use-infrastructure%2F&amp;t=%E2%80%9CBridges%2C+Electric+Power+Plants%E2%80%9D%3A+Trump+threatens+Iran%E2%80%99s+civilian+and+dual-use+infrastructure', 'facebookShare', 'width=626,height=436');
