Trump warns Iran could strike California city; RDC analysts weigh threat

Donald Trump reportedly stated that Iran could destroy a city like Los Angeles or San Diego, raising alarm about potential Iranian retaliation against the US homeland.

The actual capability and intent of Iran to strike the US mainland remain uncertain, and the statement may be aimed at domestic political messaging.
