US President Donald Trump says “We’re doing a very good job” as far as the war on Iran is concerned, reiterating that Tehran can never possess a nuclear weapon.
“If we didn’t attack them with the B-2 bombers early on, they were two weeks away, maybe three weeks away from having a nuclear weapon,” he says at an event at the White House, referring to bombing raids on suspected Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025.
“And if they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it and they would have used it fast,” he adds. “They would have blown up the Middle East, they would have totally blown up Israel … and then they would have headed for our country.
Trump claims that the Iranians “would probably hit places like San Diego and Los Angeles first because the route for a missile is much more convenient”.
