In a Friday appearance before reporters from the tarmac at Fort Bragg, President Donald Trump was questioned on what's left to bomb in Iran if he truly "totally obliterated" the country's nuclear sites as he's previously claimed.

The off-camera reporter cited Trump's speech after last June's military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, in which he deemed the bombings a "spectacular" success that had "completely and totally obliterated" their targets. "What's left to go after?" questioned the reporter.

"Well, you could get whatever the dust is down there," responded Trump. "That's really the least of the mission. If we do it, that would be the least of the mission. But we'd, you know, probably grab whatever's left," before adding that Iran "has been obliterated, as you know."

Last week, Trump spoke with NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas, insisting that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, "should be very worried" about U.S. threats of force. According to a Friday report from The New York Times, when Trump threatened military action on Iran last month, "the Pentagon was in a poor position to back him up."
