President Trump warned a group of reporters that they were “in danger” while speaking about possible military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities. He noted increasing tensions, with Israel actively targeting Iranian nuclear scientists and military leaders. Trump reiterated that Iran has only a couple of weeks to negotiate with the U.S. and Israel before more direct action might be taken.

When asked about Iranian proxy threats, Trump acknowledged the risk and stressed the need for a strong response. He also criticized journalists for potentially putting themselves in harm’s way just by speaking with him. He pivoted to NATO, stating the U.S. carries most of the alliance’s costs and insisted that countries like Spain and Canada must increase their defense spending.

Another reporter raised concerns about U.S. senators potentially encouraging Ukraine to resist peace. Trump responded with a warning: politicians need to be cautious with their words, as careless speech can escalate conflicts. This echoed his broader theme of maintaining discipline in diplomatic messaging.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo added to the alarm, stating that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah have placed terror cells globally, including in the U.S. Trump’s remarks seem to support this concern, reinforcing the seriousness of the Iranian threat.

Despite the tense international climate, Trump remains popular with voters. His approval rating rose to 53%, with key issues like the economy and immigration topping voter concerns. When asked about Iran’s refusal to surrender its nuclear ambitions, Trump simply said, “Good luck.”
