President Donald Trump responded strongly to comments by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who claimed victory over Israel and threatened to attack more U.S. military bases. During a White House press conference, Trump criticized Khamenei, stating that Iran 'got beat to hell.' Trump confirmed that the U.S. would consider bombing Iran again if intelligence indicated Iran was enriching uranium at concerning levels. Trump reiterated his claim that previous U.S. strikes destroyed key Iranian nuclear facilities.
