Trump says we're 'blowing up the whole country' if Iran doesn't make deal in 48 hours

In a social media post late Thursday night, President Donald Trump wrote that the U.S. "hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran," adding: "Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!"

In an interview with Time magazine earlier Thursday, Trump said the U.S. "blew up" three Iranian bridges overnight.

"New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!" Trump added in the social media post.

The Iranian government executed Amirhossein Hatami, an 18-year-old protester, on Thursday for charges related to the nationwide protests in the country in January, according to Mizan News Agency, the official news outlet of the country's judiciary.

Mizan reported that Hatami was a "terrorist element of the enemy" who "threw stones" within the perimeter of a military building and claimed he was involved in "destroying and burning government property with the intention of opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran."

Amnesty International described Hatami's trial " grossly unfair."

"He was sentenced to death less than a month after his arrest in connection with the January 2026 protests, following a grossly unfair trial before a Revolutionary Court in Tehran," Amnesty Iran said in a post on X, following Hatami's execution.

At least four other protesters have been sentenced by the Islamic Republic's judiciary in the same case -- Mohammad Amin Biglari, Ali Fahim, Abolfazl Salehi Siavashani and Shahin Vahedparast Kolo, according to the human rights nonprofit Abdorrahman Boroumand Center's post on X on Thursday.

Hatami is the fifth protester who was executed for charges related to Iran's January protests.

The other four were executed on charges including "waging war against God" -- one of the charges the Islamic Republic uses to issue death sentences for protesters -- and espionage. All five people were executed after the U.S.-Israel war on Iran began.

Several human rights groups have repeatedly warned about the concerning situation of protesters and prisoners in Iran following the brutal suppression of January protests by the regime. More than 6,800 protesters were killed by the regime and over 50,000 others were arrested, according to the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA).

At least eight civilians were killed and 95 others were injured in the U.S.-Israeli attack on the B1 bridge between Karaj and Tehran on Thursday, according to Iran's semiofficial Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

ABC News can not independently confirm the deaths.

President Donald Trump said that Iran is "eager" to make a deal and revealed that the U.S. "blew up their three big bridges last night," in an interview with TIME Magazine Thursday.

"Why wouldn't they call? We just blew up their three big bridges last night," the President said. "They’re getting decimated. They say Trump is not negotiating with Iran. I mean, it's sort of an easy negotiation."

When pressed about whether Israel would stop when the U.S. stops the war, Trump said that they will "stop when [he stops]," but added that they would stop unless "they're provoked."

“They'll do what I tell them. They've been a good team player. They'll stop when I stop. They'll stop unless they're provoked, in which case, they'll have no choice, but they'll stop when I stop," Trump said about the Israelis, according to Time.
