President Donald Trump dismissed a reporter’s inquiry on Monday regarding the specifics of a possible U.S. military strike on Iran, offering a sharp and sarcastic response during a press briefing.
When asked whether the United States would strike Iran’s nuclear facilities—and when such an operation might take place—Trump replied, “You don’t seriously think I will answer that question, right?”
Mocking the nature of the inquiry, the president continued: “Will you strike the Iranian nuclear site and what time exactly, sir? Sir, will you strike it? Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch?”
The exchange drew laughter from some in the room, but it also underscored the heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran amid growing speculation about a potential escalation in military actions.
While Trump has not confirmed any operational plans, the administration has recently emphasized that all options remain on the table in dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
