Trump suggests US could absorb Iranian nuclear strike
Original: Trump offers Iran war naysayers an extreme endgame: ‘Let them hit us with a nuclear weapon’
Donald Trump has provoked controversy by suggesting that critics of potential military action against Iran should be willing to accept an Iranian nuclear attack, reportedly saying 'let them hit us with a nuclear weapon'. The remarks frame the extreme worst-case outcome of a confrontation with Tehran as tolerable, drawing criticism from opponents of a US-Iran war who call the reasoning reckless.
Why now: Fears of a US confrontation with Iran and its nuclear programme are high, making Trump's hardline framing immediately contentious.
