Trump is in a confrontation with Los Angeles and San Diego over Iran
US President Donald Trump's statement that Iran "could destroy" Los Angeles and San Diego sparked widespread anger from California politicians, with the state's governor, Gavin Newsom, describing the comment as "unhinged and dangerous" and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as a threat to encourage attacks, while the White House defended the statement, saying that Trump meant that the cities would have been threatened by Iran had he not taken previous measures, and stressed that Iran does not possess nuclear or military capabilities that threaten the United States.
