Trump's Iran claims Bombers and California row

Oct 5

Nathan Guttman reports Trump's renewed personal belief linking Iran to the Flydubai incident, Vance's statement that nothing conclusive is known and Guttman's account that investigations indicate a lone attacker rather than Iranian or organizational direction. On Fairford's withdrawal of twelve B-1s, he describes suspects with explosives arrested near the base and a suspected Iran-planned drone attack intended to deter European cooperation, portraying the Iran connection as stronger than in the flight case. Those are the broadcast's allegations, not independently established findings; Trump's threat explanation is aired. The final turn reports Trump's previous-night Nebraska comments about Iran and Los Angeles/San Diego, California criticism and the White House's claim that the words were taken out of context.

At the October 5 Grand Island, Nebraska campaign rally, Trump moves from a Republican victory appeal to wartime prices, saying the higher price is small for keeping the world and country safe, then says 'let them take out' Los Angeles and San Diego, calls this a small price and forecasts the war ending soon. The full original passage preserves this price/security setup. Kan reports the California governor's criticism and a White House response that the comments were taken out of context, without an apology. CCTV also reports criticism by Mayors Bass and Gloria. The contested rhetoric is a public statement and does not establish permission for an Iranian attack or that the war ended.
