President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he’s not worried about Iran executing a terror attack within the United States in retaliation for the ongoing war by the U.S. and Israel.
“No, I don’t,” Trump told a reporter outside the White House when asked if he feared such a domestic attack.
Trump also touted progress in the war against Iran, which is in its 11th day, before departing for a trip to Kentucky and Ohio.
“Right now, they’ve lost their Navy, their Air Force. They have no anti-aircraft apparatus at all,” the president said. “Their leaders are gone, and we could do a lot worse.”
Trump said the U.S. military is “leaving certain things” in Iran, which could be destroyed by the afternoon, if need be, and “they literally would never be able to build that country back.”
