My jaw just dropped.

That’s a bit curious a statement by President Trump. What on earth could it include? Statues? Islam doesn’t like statues. Parks. No biggy. Major buildings used by the Satanic regime? Hmm. Maybe. Qom? That would sure ignite a prolonged firestorm for questionable benefit. I think President Trump is wiser than that unless he knows things about Qom that I don’t—highly likely. What are your guesses Mairdie?

>>What on earth could it include?

My assumption is that the Iranians, like the Palestinians, have a tendency to put their nastiest places in the places we aren’t supposed to touch, by international law. So could it be that there are some nuclear facilities in places they think are unbombable? No idea.

But I really doubt he means to blow up a religious site because he is religious, himself, and understands how he would feel if that happened to some place that he felt reverence for. And he’s good at empathy because you need that for negotiations.

But I wouldn’t hold out a lot of safety for lesser places if he feels they’re dangerous for whatever reasons. And he would know the sort of world fallout it would cause and doesn’t ACT as fast as he talks. Whatever he does, he’ll have thought it out.

I also think he’s just being reactive to being attacked for doing what he believes to have been the right action.

Maybe he has intelligence that they are hiding weapons etc there under the religious cover...

He may have been signaling that we know.
