“The entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.”
President Donald Trump has said that the entire Iranian regime can be "taken out in one night" and said that the US has a plan to take out every bridge and power plant in the country. He made the comments during a press briefing after he also said over the weekend that Tuesday is "Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one" in a threat to take out the infrastructure.
"We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business," Trump said. He added that the whole operation could be done in "4 hours."

He also said that the operation would come on Tuesday. "This is a rescue that's very historic. It'll go down to the books late Thursday night, an American F-15 fighter jet went down deep inside enemy territory in Iran while participating in Operation Epic Fury, where we're doing unbelievably well, well at a level that nobody's ever seen before," Trump said. "The entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night."

The president was going over the success of the operation to rescue two F-15 crew members who were shot down over Iran and were then later rescued. He touted the success of the missions, saying that even when the information was leaked to the Iranian military forces, the US was still able to conduct a successful search and rescue operation for both crew members.
This comes after Trump has made repeated threats to take out infrastructure in the country, including power plants as well as electric grids. In a Sunday post to Truth Social, Trump said, "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell."
"JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah," Trump added as a quip against the terrorist regime.
Since the launch of Operation Epic Fury on February 28, the US military has heavily degraded the military capabilities of the Iranian regime. Dozens of Iranian regime officials and military leaders have also been killed.
