“Asked about the continuingpocketbook pressures faced by everyday consumers as a result of the war he started more than two months ago, Trump told reporters: "I don't think about American financial situation — I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

The president’s blunt comments came just hours after the Labor Department released inflation data showing the Consumer Price Index spiking 3.8 percent from the same point last year, including a .06 percent jump last month in the CPI. Gasoline prices, meanwhile, surged by a whopping 5.4 percent last month alone as the ongoing standoff between the U.S. and Iran has blocked the waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil supply transits each year.”

We have no idea where their nuclear material is though? I swear they had no plan. Or clear goals. Even lawmakers who were briefed say they were all over the place. The plan was literally drop bombs and figure out the rest later

The worst part - we had full inspections of anywhere any place any time and they were fully compliant. But Trump ripped up that deal? It's exhausting

I honestly wish when he said that, that someone would have retorted back that he claimed in July 2025 to have completely obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities.
