U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the American administration has identified targets for strikes on Iranian territory in the event of a possible resumption of hostilities, but does not intend to carry them out.

"We are ready for it. I have three aircraft carriers here," Trump said in an interview with CNN, adding that the third aircraft carrier has just arrived and all three are fully ready.

According to him, among the selected targets are 38 bridges, which he claims can be destroyed "literally in one hour." "They will all be taken down," he added, but clarified that he would prefer not to destroy Iranian infrastructure. According to Trump, he does not want to do this because it would take ten years to rebuild and he does not like demolishing bridges, since "the hardest thing in construction is a bridge," which takes years, and he is a good builder.
