Trump Says He’ll Bomb Iran Again If Needed In Unexpected Press Conference

President Donald Trump held an hour-long, unexpected press conference Friday where he shared that he is willing to bomb Iran again if needed.

After the Supreme Court ruled that lower courts had overstretched their authority by ordering a national block on Trump’s birthright citizenship measures, the president came into the White House briefing room to take a victory lap. As Trump extended his press conference from beyond the judicial ruling, the president touched on the conflict in the Middle East, confirming that Iran once tried to assassinate him.

“If the intelligence reports conclude that Iran can enrich uranium to a level that concerns you, would you consider bombing the country again?” one reporter asked Trump. 

“Sure, without question,” Trump told reporters.

“They’re exhausted. The last thing they are thinking about is nuclear [weapons],” he added.

Trump also continued to confirm that Iran’s nuclear site had been “obliterated” amid reporting from CNN and other legacy media outlets that the country’s program had only been set back several months.

“I don’t believe that they’re going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over a trillion on nuclear and they never got it together. And nothing was moved from the site, by the way — to do that is very dangerous. It’s very, very heavy material,” he told reporters.

“I’ve been saying for 25 years, even as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon and that’s what happened. It’s been obliterated,” Trump added, saying that he believes Iran now wants to meet and negotiate a deal. “It would be years before they could ever get going. And I really think it’s probably the last thing they have to recover from a hell of a tough war.”

But Trump also said Friday that he has halted negotiation talks with Iran’s supreme leader.

The president also spoke about the Supreme Court ruling regarding his birthright citizenship decision.

“Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis,” the president explained, flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Throughout his administration, Trump explained, his policies have been blocked by lower courts including efforts to end sanctuary city funding and stop taxpayer dollars from going towards transgender medical procedures for minors.

Solicitor General John Saur said in May that judges have issued 40 universal injunctions against the administration’s policies since January. Federal judges have issued at least 199 rulings temporarily blocking Trump administration policy goals as of June 26, according to The New York Times.

“No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump’s policies across the entire nation. No longer today in the 6-3 opinion justice Barrett correctly holds that the district court lacks authority to enter nationwide or universal injunctions,” Bondi told reporters on Friday.

“These lawless injunctions gave relief to everyone in the world instead of the parties before the court, as the Supreme Court held today, they turned district courts into the imperial judiciary, active liberal justices, judges have used these injunctions to block virtually all of President Trump’s policies,” she continued.
