Trump Threatens New Strikes on Iran as Intel Finds Tehran Retains Major Firepower

Fresh U.S. threats collide with intelligence indicating Iran can still launch from concealed and mobile sites.

Overview

  • Trump said U.S. forces have not even begun to destroy what remains in Iran and he named bridges and power plants as likely targets, in posts to Truth Social.
  • CNN, citing U.S. intelligence, reported Iran still has significant missile and drone capacity, with key systems hidden in tunnel and cave networks and launchers mounted on vehicles to evade detection.
  • Two CNN sources said thousands of Iranian drones remain in service, about half of the fleet, and many systems survived because they are dispersed and hard to find.
  • Trump praised a U.S. strike on a large bridge near Tehran; Iranian authorities said eight people were killed and nearly 100 wounded, a toll that has not been independently verified.
  • In separate fighting, Ukraine reported a record pace of March strikes on Russian targets, and Russian attacks on April 3 damaged more than 60 sites in Kyiv region and hit Kramatorsk, leaving one dead and eight wounded in the region and three dead and three wounded in the city.
