Trump says he would rather not target Iran infrastructure

President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would rather not target bridges, power plants or other infrastructure in Iran because such strikes would hurt civilians, adding that ordinary Iranians were suffering under government repression.

“I'd rather not do it because once you do that the people suffer,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.

“My message to the Iranian people is they're afraid because they have no guns, and the other side has guns, and they have a rally and they get shot,” he added.
