- President Trump questioned Israel’s ability to independently destroy Iran’s fortified nuclear sites, emphasizing their limited military capacity. His comments sparked further speculation about potential U.S. involvement in escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
BEDMINSTER, NJ – President Trump caused a media storm Friday with fiery comments about Israel’s military capabilities and the mounting tensions with Iran, bluntly claiming that Israel “has very limited capacity” to take out Iran’s deeply buried nuclear enrichment facilities.
Trump Slams Israel’s Military Limits Amid Rising Iran Tensions
Speaking to reporters on the tarmac after landing in New Jersey, President Trump openly questioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims that Israel could independently destroy Iran’s underground nuclear sites. “I’m not sure he said that,” Trump remarked, before delivering a sharp critique. “They could break through a little section, but they can’t go down very deep. They don’t have that capacity.”
Reporters Press Trump on Iran Attacks
During the intense Q&A, tensions ran high as reporters grilled Trump on what the U.S. would do if Iran attacked American assets. One journalist bluntly asked whether Trump would promise a full investigation before blaming Tehran. Trump’s response was as bold as ever: “If there’s an attack, we’ll know almost immediately with modern equipment who made the attack. And those people will be very, very unhappy.”

In a dramatic twist, Trump then turned his attention to the safety of the press corps on the tarmac, declaring, “I want to get you people out of danger! They’re in danger standing with me!” His remarks sparked a mix of nervous laughter and uneasy glances among those present.
Can Israel Go It Alone Against Iran?
The president’s remarks cast doubt on Israel’s ability to strike Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment facility, which is fortified deep inside a mountain. Military experts widely agree that a U.S. “bunker-buster” missile would be required to demolish such a site — a weapon that Israel does not appear to possess.
Trump’s comments come amidst speculation that he could escalate U.S. involvement in the growing conflict between Israel and Iran. With tensions escalating, some critics are asking: Is the U.S. edging closer to direct intervention?
The Road Ahead
As Trump continues to dominate headlines with his candid and controversial comments, questions loom about his next move. Will the U.S. play a decisive role in resolving this high-stakes standoff, or will Trump’s fiery rhetoric push the region closer to the brink?
