Iran warns of ‘stronger, wider, and more destructive’ attacks after Trump’s address

We begin this morning with President Donald Trump saying the war with Iran could end soon

but offering no clear timeline. In a primetime address Wednesday, Trump said the United States

is on track to complete its military objectives shortly, but did not give a specific end date

He also repeated that negotiations are underway. Iran continues to deny that

An Iranian military spokesman responded Thursday, warning of stronger, wider and more destructive attacks against the U.S. and Israel

State media now reports Iran's military says the war will continue until it forces what it calls surrender and permanent regret

And while Trump says the conflict could wrap up in two or three weeks, he also made clear more strikes are coming

Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete

all of America military objectives shortly very shortly We going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks We going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong Yet if during this period

of time no deal is made, we have our eyes on key targets. If there is no deal, we are going to hit

each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously

We have not hit their oil, even though that's the easiest target of all, because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding

But we could hit it and it would be gone and there's not a thing they could do about it

The White House is also warning of new threats in the region. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is urging all Americans to leave immediately

citing intelligence that Iran-aligned militias could launch attacks in the next 24 to 48 hours

And U.S. allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates

report fresh Iranian attacks overnight
