But the U.S. is  being drawn deeper  in, and the commander-in-chief is posting strike videos \u2013 while  sounding more bellicose than ever. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong,&#8221; President Trump said Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the U.S. has struck mostly military targets (like an ammunition depot), but it also hit Iran&#8217;s biggest bridge \u2013 a civilian target \u2013 which U.S. officials said was used to transport missiles. <\/p>\n<p>The president threatened much worse if Iran does not come to terms by Monday night. In his address to the nation Wednesday, Mr. Trump said, &#8220;If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Electrical generating plants power hospitals, they power schools, water sanitation facilities, the things that you need to sustain basic day-to-day living for a civilian population,&#8221; said Tess Bridgeman, who was a legal adviser to President Obama&#8217;s National Security Council. &#8220;Obliterating all power plants, threatening coercive actions against the civilian population to try to bring a government to the negotiating table, those kinds of things are flatly illegal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elliott Abrams, who served as special representative for Iran in the first Trump administration, says punishing the Iranian population would undercut the American cause. &#8220;We want the Iranian people on our side,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;d rather see us go after regime targets, assets they use to repress the Iranian people, not assets Iranians use to live their daily lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also seems far removed from the reason President Trump went to war: <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-is-strategizing-means-to-seize-irans-nuclear-stockpiles-sources-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">to make sure Iran does not build a nuclear weapon<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Has he done that? &#8220;Unfortunately not,&#8221; said David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security, and a leading expert on Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, which he says has been seriously set back. &#8220;The most important part that remains is the highly-enriched uranium, and that has not been destroyed or taken by the United States or Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Albright says that, as long as Iran has highly-enriched uranium, it has a path to a nuclear weapon. <\/p>\n<p>Half of Iran&#8217;s highly-enriched uranium is believed buried inside the Isfahan mountain complex \u2013 and President Trump seems willing to leave it there, claiming, &#8220;We have it under intense satellite surveillance and control.\u00a0 If we see them make a move, even a move for it, we&#8217;ll hit them with missiles very hard again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. can bomb the complex to make the uranium even harder to get to, but that is not the entire stockpile. &#8220;It&#8217;s a big question about where is the rest, because the rest is enough for at least two or three nuclear weapons,&#8221; Albright said. <\/p>\n<p>Abrams says the war will likely leave Iran more determined, not less determined, to get a bomb: &#8220;I think the war leads them to believe that they need a nuclear weapon,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re going to do this tomorrow morning. I think they&#8217;ll return to it over time, if the regime survives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked if we have seen the last of Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, Albright replied, &#8220;The way things are going now, I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going to see the end of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>For more info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>Story produced by Mary Raffalli.
