Trump threatens to destroy Iran infrastructure

Newshour

Available for 26 days

President Donald Trump says the US "hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran", adding that Iranian bridges are "next, then electric power plants." Mr. Trump has also signalled his openness to diplomacy in an effort to end the war. Iran has launched fresh strikes on Israel and Gulf nations, after the US and Israel stepped up their attacks on Iran's infrastructure. Also in the programme: an update on the progress of the Artemis II moon mission; and the unusual way octopuses have sex. (Picture: US President Donald J. Trump.
