Trump Continues Claims of Iranian Threat to Justify US Actions

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that Iran would have targeted Los Angeles and San Diego first if Washington had not launched an attack on Iran, arguing that the “missile trajectories were much more suitable for reaching these cities.” In his address to the American people to justify the country’s aggression, Trump alleged that Iran would likely have attacked Europe before the United States, but added that there is “no longer any need to worry about this.” He reiterated his assertion that Iran would never achieve nuclear weapons and described the costs incurred for these actions as “very negligible.” Trump had previously stated at a political rally in Nebraska that increased costs during wartime are a “small price to pay” and spoke of the possibility of Iranian attacks on cities like Los Angeles and San Diego. These statements have drawn reactions and criticism from several political figures and leaders in the United States.
