‘Let them hit Los Angeles’: Trump clarifies Iran war remarks, says he ‘won’t let that happen’

US President Donald Trump sought to clarify his controversial remarks about Iran attacking Los Angeles and San Diego at a Texas campaign rally on Wednesday, saying the US would “not let that happen” as he campaigned for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections.Trump had sparked a backlash earlier this week after suggesting that Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego while discussing the threat posed by a nuclear-armed Iran at a rally in Nebraska.At a rally in San Antonio on Wednesday, Trump again referred to the possibility of Iran firing a missile at the two California cities, but said the US would prevent such a scenario.“You want to see a horror show? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles if you want to see some bad things happen,” Trump said.
