US President Trump appeared to suggest that Iran should be permitted to attack Los Angeles and San Diego, calling it a 'very small price to pay.' The remark, reported by Anadolu Agency, is a rhetorical escalation in US-Iran tensions, though its context and intent remain unclear. If taken literally, it signals a dramatic shift in US posture toward accepting domestic attacks, which would be unprecedented and highly destabilizing.
