President Donald Trump says that the US has “a very strong position right now” regarding Iran, warning that Washington could destroy the country’s bridges and power plants in a single day.

“I can take out most of their bridges in less than an hour … I can knock out the power plants, within one day, all of their power plants will be gone,” he tells Fox News.

“People want me to do that … I think about 91 million people without power, without bridges … it’s a very, very delicate balance,” he adds. “I think we have a very strong position right now … If I can avoid doing that, I’d like to do that.”
