At a Monday-night rally in Nebraska, President Trump suggested Iran had the firepower to 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego. The remark, made before a cheering crowd, was offered without evidence of Iranian long-range weapons capable of striking those cities.

Trump also argued that the Iran war had driven U.S. fuel prices higher, forcing drivers to pay 'a little bit' more at the pump — framing the conflict as an economic burden on American households.

The Nebraska rally comes in the final stretch before the November midterms, with Trump leaning on a mix of foreign-policy warnings and kitchen-table economics in his stump appearances.
