As the president mulls U.S. strikes in Iran, lawmakers in Congress displayed concerns about whether the U.S. is capable of executing a mission that would eradicate the country's nuclear program.
The 79-year-old commander-in-chief teased on Wednesday he is keeping his options open when it comes to military action regarding the Israel-Iran war, now in its sixth day.
Israel has requested that Trump get involved, specifically asking for the use of a 30,000-lb American-made bunker buster bomb. The longtime U.S. ally says it needs the bomb - which can penetrate more than 200 feet of concrete - to disable Iran's nuclear capability.
However, at least one Republican senator questioned whether U.S. military might could truly eviscerate Iran's technology.
'Everybody has an opinion about whether we should do something, but the first question to be answered is, could, and that's what I'm interested in at the moment,' Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy told the Daily Mail. 'I mean, do we have a bomb that could destroy the underground labs? Would our bombs do it?'
