Trump Says He Was The Hunted And Now He Is The Hunter — "It's Much Better When You're The Hunter"

President Donald Trump said Thursday that U.S. military operations against Iran are far from over, declaring in a Truth Social post on April 2 that the campaign has not yet reached its full intensity despite weeks of sustained strikes and significant reported damage to Iranian infrastructure and leadership.

In the post, Trump wrote, “Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!” The statement signals a potential escalation in targeting infrastructure, including bridges and power facilities, while emphasizing pressure on Iran’s leadership to act quickly.

The remarks come as the U.S.-led military campaign, known as Operation Epic Fury, has already resulted in widespread strikes across Iran. According to operational figures released as of April 1, more than 12,300 targets have been struck and over 13,000 combat flights conducted. The campaign has focused on dismantling Iran’s military and security infrastructure, including missile sites, command centers, and naval assets. In addition, Iran’s supreme leader and more than 40 other senior leaders and officials have been killed during the course of the operation.

Trump’s latest comments followed a U.S. strike on a highway bridge near Tehran earlier on April 2. The president publicly praised the attack and warned that additional actions would follow. Iranian state media reported that eight people were killed and 95 were wounded in the strike, citing local officials who said the casualties were civilians gathered nearby. A U.S. military official said the bridge had been targeted as part of an effort to disrupt a planned military supply route tied to Iran’s missile and drone capabilities.

The bridge, identified as part of a highway project connecting Tehran to the Caspian Sea, was described by a local official as not yet operational and not actively used for military purposes at the time of the strike. Trump shared video of the explosion alongside his warning that there was “much more to follow,” reinforcing his position that additional infrastructure could be targeted if Iran does not change course.

The conflict, now in its fifth week, has shown little indication of slowing despite diplomatic efforts. Trump has repeatedly called on Iran to reach an agreement, warning of further destruction if it does not. In his latest message, he underscored that future strikes could extend beyond military targets to include critical infrastructure, stating that the next phase could involve bridges and electric power plants as part of an intensified campaign.
