Trump says comment that Iran could 'take out' Los Angeles was misinterpreted
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported34m ago
Former President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that his previous remarks regarding Iran’s potential to target Los Angeles were misinterpreted. Trump clarified that his original comments were intended to emphasize the necessity of accepting higher gasoline prices as a trade-off for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The clarification addresses concerns stemming from earlier statements in which the former president suggested that Iranian actions could impact California cities. By reframing the remarks, Trump positioned the economic burden of increased fuel costs as a secondary concern compared to the broader geopolitical objective of nuclear non-proliferation.
