Trump on whether Americans should fear Iran reprisals in US: ‘I guess’

President Trump acknowledged the likelihood of U.S. casualties in the Iran conflict, with six American service members already killed, amid ongoing military operations and political backlash.

  • On Thursday, in an interview with Time magazine, President Donald Trump said he replied 'I guess' when asked if Americans should fear retaliatory attacks, and he said the administration plans for such threats.
  • Amid joint U.S.-Israel operations, President Donald Trump said he accelerated strikes because he feared Iran might strike first, following recent attacks that killed six U.S. service members.
  • FBI officials say they are monitoring possible Iranian sleeper cells and investigating an Austin, Texas mass shooting by Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized American citizen, that killed four and injured more than a dozen.
  • Lawmakers reacted as Sen. Mark Kelly wrote 'This is officially TRUMP'S WAR,' critics including Sen. Elizabeth Warren called the comments 'deranged and dangerous,' and the House of Representatives voted 219–212 against war-powers limits Thursday.
  • With costs mounting, the administration spends roughly $1 billion per day while U.S. Central Command seeks more intelligence support for at least 100 days and one in four Americans back the war.
