WASHINGTON, November 8. /TASS/. The US administration has identified targets for strikes on Iranian territory in the event of a potential resumption of hostilities, but does not want to do that, US President Donald Trump said.

"We’re ready for it (resuming strikes against Iran - TASS). I’ve got three aircraft carriers here (in the Middle East - TASS). The other one just arrived. We have three. They’re fully locked and loaded," he told CNN.

According to the US leader, among the targets are 38 bridges "that we can knock down in literally one hour." "They’ll all be down," he said, adding that he would prefer not to ruin Iranian infrastructure. "I don’t want to do that because essentially, it’ll take 10 years to rebuild them. I don’t like ripping down bridges. And the hardest thing to build is a bridge. It takes years, and I’m a good builder," he said.
