Trump repeats his false claim that Iran could destroy Los Angeles or San Diego – as it happened

At a campaign rally in San Antonio, President Donald Trump revisited comments made earlier in Nebraska regarding potential Iranian missile threats against U.S. cities, specifically Los Angeles and San Diego. Trump framed his decision to engage in military conflict with Iran as a necessary measure to prevent a nuclear attack, stating he would not allow such an event to occur. Critics, including California officials, condemned the remarks as dangerous, while intelligence reports cited by some outlets contest the status of Iran's nuclear capabilities. The event also featured the announcement of the Presidential Medal of Freedom for Roger Clemens and was marked by minor physical altercations in the crowd.
