'I guess': Trump admits Americans should be worried about retaliatory Iran strikes at home
President Donald Trump made a stark admission on Thursday about potential retaliatory strikes by Iran, according to a report.
Time Magazine reported on Thursday that Trump admitted Americans should be worried about Iran striking the U.S. His comments come a few days after U.S. and Israeli troops coordinated strikes across more than 100 sites in Iran, which killed several top military and political leaders in the country.
“I guess,” Trump said in response to a question about whether retaliatory attacks could happen at home. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
In the wake of last weekend's strikes, Iran launched a hybrid missile and drone attack on several of its neighboring countries. The country also targeted U.S. properties in the region, like the U.S. embassy in Kuwait, in an attack that killed six Americans.
Time Magazine also noted there are "extraordinary risks" for the Trump administration.
"The gravest decision a President can make is whether to send American troops into harm’s way," said the report. "Trump, who once defined himself in opposition to foreign entanglements, has pivoted with astonishing alacrity toward open-ended confrontation across multiple theaters."
