  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nUS President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that Iran had taken too long to negotiate a deal and would now \"pay the price\".\n\nThe threat came after the United States and Iran exchanged strikes, straining a ceasefire that took effect in April. Trump also said he was considering targeting Iranian power plants and bridges after peace talks failed to make progress.\n\n#### What did Trump say about Iran paying the price?\n\nTrump posted on Truth Social that Iran's military had been \"completely defeated\" and that the country had missed a deal that would have benefited it. He did not specify what consequences Iran would face. The warning marked a sharp shift from his comments to reporters on Tuesday, when he said negotiations on an enduring settlement were in their \"final throes\" and could conclude within two or three days.\n\n#### What military action has the US taken against Iran?\n\nLate on Tuesday, US forces carried out strikes against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an American helicopter on Monday, with explosions reported by Iranian media along its southern coast. US Central Command said the strikes targeted command and control, defence and surveillance stations operated by the US Air Force and Navy. Iran said it had attacked American bases in Jordan and Bahrain on Wednesday.\n\n#### Is Trump threatening further strikes on Iran?\n\nIn a phone interview with Fox News journalist Trey Yingst, Trump said he was getting closer to targeting Iran's power plants and bridges after peace talks failed to advance. \"I may keep going,\" Trump was quoted as saying. \"They had a chance to sign a deal and survive.\"\n\nIn a separate Truth Social post, Trump praised the US naval blockade of Iranian shipping, calling it the most successful in history and describing it as a \"steel wall.\" He claimed the blockade had halted Iranian commerce and prevented the country from paying military wages, while still allowing other nations to export oil.",
