Trump Says He Would Bomb Iran Again ‘without Question’ Over Uranium Enrichment

President Donald Trump said on Friday he would bomb Iran again “without question” if intelligence suggests Iran continues to have the ability to enrich uranium.

The president was asked by a reporter at a Friday press briefing if he would bomb Iran again if the country can enrich uranium "to a level that concerns you," even as he and his administration have maintained that an offensive strike by the U.S. last weekend obliterated three Iranian nuclear sites.

However, questions remain over whether Iran moved their stockpile of enriched uranium prior to the strike, and whether centrifuges remain intact at nuclear sites, POLITICO reported.

“Once those bombs got dropped, the war was over,” Trump said Friday.

The comments were part of an over hourlong press conference where Trump touted various “tremendous victories” of his administration, including this week’s NATO summit and several Friday Supreme Court decisions in his favor.

“We’ve had a big week, we’ve had a lot of victories this week,” Trump said. “The war was a tremendous victory. We’ve been talking about this for 30 years, about Iran being nuclear, and all I said is it will not be nuclear.”

Immediately after the conference, Trump took to Truth Social to condemn Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for suggesting Iran won the war.

"As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie," Trump wrote. "His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life."
