Trump Says He Will ‘Absolutely’ Start Bombing Iran Again If They Enrich Uranium To High Levels

President Donald Trump said Friday that he would “absolutely” start bombing Iran again if the regime resumed enriching uranium to high levels.

“If the intelligence report concludes that Iran can enrich uranium to a level that concerns you, would you consider bombing the country again?” a reporter asked the president during a White House press briefing.

“Sure, without question, absolutely,” Trump responded, before praising the success of American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities with Tomahawk missiles and 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs carried by B-2 Spirit bombers.

Prior to Israel and the United States delivering significant blows to the Iranian regime’s nuclear ambitions, the International Atomic Energy Agency found in February that Iran’s uranium stockpile was enriched to 60 percent purity — close to the 90% level considered weapons-grade.

According to both Israeli and American officials, the Iranian regime was within days or weeks of obtaining a nuclear bomb.

Iran entered into a ceasefire with Israel, brokered by Trump, after 12 days of conflict during which the Iranian regime suffered significant blows to its nuclear program and military infrastructure.

Prior to the ceasefire, Iran launched 19 missiles at the American Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, 18 of which were intercepted, with one causing minimal damage.

Trump said Iran had provided advance warning to his administration, allowing American personnel to shelter or evacuate before the strike, which has been regarded as a coordinated attack for the regime to save face.

“I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday.

TRUMP ANNOUNCES ‘COMPLETE AND TOTAL CEASEFIRE’ BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN

Throughout Israel’s entire 12-day campaign against Iran, dubbed “Operation Rising Lion,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the IDF removed the threat of a significant number of Iranian ballistic missiles, and helped severely harm Iran’s nuclear program.

The IDF eliminated much of Iran’s senior military command and several leading nuclear scientists, destroyed the enrichment facility in Natanz, the uranium conversion plant in Isfahan, and the heavy water installation in Arak, according to Netanyahu. Other laboratories, factories, ballistic missile production facilities, and regime targets were also struck.

The United States was able to help by using the bunker busters that damaged Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility — a target that Israeli bombs would have been unable to damage, according to experts.

TRUMP HAS BEEN CLEAR FOR 14 YEARS THAT IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on Thursday proclaimed victory over the United States.

“My congratulations on our dear Iran’s victory over the US regime,” Khamenei posted. “The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn’t, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed. It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing.”

The Iranian leader went so far as to claim that his regime’s missile attack “destroyed the U.S. air base in Al Udeid, Qatar.”

Trump responded to Khamenei in the press conference, telling him he needs to “tell the truth.”

“You got beat to hell,” Trump said.
