Trump says would 'rather not' hit Iran civilian infrastructure

U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News on Thursday that he would "rather not" hit Iran's civilian infrastructure, as he vowed to step up American strikes on the Islamic Republic.

"Yeah, but I'd rather not do it, because once you do that, the people suffer," Trump said when asked if the United States would start attacking power plants and bridges as he has previously threatened.
