VIDEO: President Trump Doesn’t Rule Out Future Airstrikes On Iran


President Trump did not rule out a future strike on Iran if it begins to rebuild their nuclear program.

While taking questions from the press during the NATO summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday, Trump was asked whether he would strike Iran again if it began to rebuild their nuclear program.

Trump responded, “Sure.”

Here’s the moment he said it:

Per Barron’s:

Trump suggested the U.S. could strike Iran again if the country attempts to rebuild its nuclear enrichments program.

Asked Wednesday morning if the U.S. would attack Iran again if the country rebuilt its nuclear enrichment program, Trump answered “sure.”

“The last thing they want to do is enriched anything right now. They want to recover and we won’t let that happen,” the president told reporters ahead on the NATO Summit in the Hague.

The NATO Chief praised Trump’s decision to strike Iran:

ABC News added these details:

Trump insisted Iran’s nuclear program had been set back “basically decades,” adding, “It’s gone for years.”

Asked if they could rebuild and whether the U.S. would strike again, Trump said that would be someone else’s problem.

“I’m not going to have to worry about that,” he said. “It’s gone for years, years, very tough to rebuild, because the whole thing is collapsed. In other words, inside, it’s all collapsed. Nobody can get in to see it, because it’s collapsed.”

Asked if he trusted U.S. intelligence, the president said the initial report was “very inconclusive. The intelligence says we don’t know, it could have been very severe, that’s what the intelligence says. So I guess that’s correct, but I think we can take the ‘we don’t know.’ It was very severe. It was obliteration.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also spoke in support of the president’s position, having accompanied Trump to The Hague.
