Leila Gharagozlou: Trump Weighing Expanded Strikes on Iran, Including Civilian Infrastructure

RUSH EXCERPT:

GHARAGOZLOU: “Yeah. So it could mean a range of things he‘s said over the last two weeks that he could hit civilian infrastructure, like bridges or desalination plants. He‘s also toyed with the idea of hitting mount kumgang, or as people call it, pickax mountain, which is part of the natanz facility. So there could be quite a lot of different options here. The U.S. Generally over the last two weeks, has been working to degrade Iran‘s military capability and loosen its control over the Strait of Hormuz. So much of those strikes that we‘ve seen in these 14 days have really been in that stretch along the southern area of Iran. The defensive arch. He could widen that out, go back to hitting places like Tehran and really focusing again on the capital. So there‘s a lot to work with, I guess, in terms of strike targets. That being said, he‘s also had conflicting statements where he said that, you know, they could be talking."
