"We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
"Trump and administration officials have said the attacks were necessary to prevent Iran from creating a nuclear weapon (even though the Trump administration said it had previously destroyed the country's capability of doing so), to prevent Iran from retaliating from a possible Israeli military strike, and to push for regime change in Iran."
"A 53-year-old gunman named Ndiaga Diagne killed two people and himself and injured 14 others by conducting a mass shooting in an Austin, Texas, bar shortly after the U.S. military strikes began. The FBI suspects possible retaliatory terrorism as the motive."
Following U.S. military strikes on Iran, President Trump stated Americans should expect potential retaliatory attacks on domestic soil, noting that casualties occur during wartime. The administration justified the strikes as necessary to prevent Iran's nuclear weapon development and to preempt Iranian retaliation against Israel. The conflict has expanded across multiple Middle Eastern and regional countries, resulting in at least 170 deaths, predominantly children, and six U.S. soldier deaths. A mass shooting in Austin, Texas is suspected by the FBI as possible retaliatory terrorism. Democratic critics argue Trump initiated the war to distract from domestic political challenges including declining poll numbers and economic inflation.
