Former President Trump suggested that allowing Iran to strike Los Angeles would be a 'small price to pay' for US interests, prompting California leaders to label the comments 'deranged and dangerous.' The remarks mark an escalation in inflammatory rhetoric toward Iran, though they carry no immediate policy weight. The episode underscores heightened political polarization over Iran policy ahead of the 2026 midterms.
