"I think it was an imminent threat. I think that Iran, if they- If we didn't bomb them with the B2 bombers now that set them back but if we didn't hit them with the B2 bombers, they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks to a month."
"Oh, we hit them so hard. We obliterated them but that doesn't mean with the right equipment you can't dig down and go get it. We don't want that, and we won't have that."
Kaitlan Collins questioned President Trump about his assertion that Iran posed an imminent threat following Operation Epic Fury. During a press gaggle, Trump claimed that without recent B2 bomber strikes, Iran would have acquired a nuclear weapon within weeks.

Trump maintained that while they had successfully hit the sites, Iranian forces could still retrieve nuclear materials with the right equipment, emphasizing the ongoing threat posed by Iran.
