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.
