President Donald Trump said Friday he is open to bombing Iran again if its uranium enrichment reaches a level deemed threatening by the United States, and voiced support for inspections of Iran’s previously targeted nuclear sites.
"Sure, without question, absolutely," Trump said when asked about the possibility of new bombing of Iranian nuclear sites if deemed necessary at some point.
At a White House news conference, Trump said he plans to respond soon to comments from Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who said Iran "slapped America in the face" by launching an attack against a major U.S. base in Qatar following last weekend's U.S. bombing raid.
He claimed that he saved the Iranian leader from an "ugly and ignominious death."
Trump also said he would like inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency or another respected source to be able to inspect Iran's nuclear sites after they were bombed last weekend.
