This warning follows four consecutive days of US air raids and a re-established maritime blockade.
Washington: US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Wednesday (IST) that he plans to broaden American military strikes against Iran next week to target infrastructure such as power stations and bridges unless Tehran agrees to a negotiated settlement.
"Next week it gets really bad for them because next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges," Trump stated during an interview with the American television network.
"We're going to knock out all their power plants. We're going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate."
The president's remarks coincided with American forces executing air raids against Iran for the fourth consecutive day, whilst re-establishing a maritime blockade around the nation's ports.
A highly precarious ceasefire signed by both sides on June 17 has effectively broken down, with current hostilities centred on dominion over the strategic Strait of Hormuz waterway.
When questioned regarding the duration of the American aerial campaign, Trump answered: "They'll continue until I say it's enough."
