The president, who has racked up a number of foreign policy victories in recent weeks, took time during Thursday’s event to poke fun at Iran for its response to U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities last month.
Trump touted the U.S. strikes, and he noted that the pilots and mechanics who worked on the planes that flew over Iran would be at the White House for Fourth of July celebrations.
The president also seemed to mock Iran for giving the U.S. a heads-up before firing missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar in response to the strikes on the nuclear sites.
“They were nice enough — this is Iran — to call me and tell me that they would like to shoot at me 14 times,” Trump said. “So, they want to shoot us, and I said go ahead, and they shot 14 high-grade, very fast missiles. Every single one of them was shot down routinely.”
Trump claimed earlier Thursday that Iran wants to speak to him and signaled an openness to having conversations. He noted Steve Witkoff, his special envoy for the Middle East, has been handling talks with Iran.
“I think they want to meet. I know they want to meet,” he said. “And if it’s necessary I’ll do it.”
