Trump Fires Back with Classic One-Liner After Bash Questions Iran Strike: ‘They Didn’t Die of the...

President Donald J. Trump confirmed Friday that the Iranian hardliners he previously negotiated with over their nuclear program are now dead—thanks to Israeli military action.

In a striking exchange shared during a CNN segment with anchor John Berman, CNN’s Dana Bash revealed details of her recent conversation with President Trump, highlighting his continued push for diplomacy—even as events on the ground shift dramatically.

“We of course support Israel, obviously, and supported it like nobody’s ever supported it,” Trump told Bash, according to the interview transcript she quoted. His unwavering stance came as Bash pressed the President on the escalating situation in the Middle East.

Trump emphasized that he had previously warned the Iranian regime, stating, “Iran should have listened to me when I said, I don’t know if you know this, but I gave them a 60-day warning, and today is day 61.”

Despite the killing of top Iranian officials involved in past negotiations, President Trump reiterated his openness to diplomacy. “Come to the table to make a deal before it’s too late,” he urged.

Bash followed up by asking about the fates of those negotiators: “So what you’re saying is Israel has now killed the people who you were dealing with?”

Trump didn’t miss a beat: “They didn’t die of the flu, they didn’t die of COVID,” he reportedly replied, making it crystal clear who delivered the blow.

While the legacy media fixates on Trump's candor, the broader takeaway is his consistent message: the United States supports Israel, and Iran would be wise to engage in talks while there’s still time. Trump continues to pursue a peaceful resolution—one that blocks Tehran’s path to a nuclear weapon—without dragging America into another endless war.

Despite the latest developments, Trump remains committed to reining in Iran’s nuclear ambitions through tough negotiation backed by strength—not appeasement.

As CNN noted, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that America had no direct involvement in this particular operation. Even so, Trump made no apologies for standing with America’s closest ally in the region.

Berman attempted to differentiate between vocal support for Israel and endorsing military strikes, but Bash conceded that President Trump was not directly backing the specific attacks—though his support for Israel remains unequivocal.

In contrast to the failed strategies of the Biden era, President Trump is once again showing the world how strength, clarity, and leverage can make peace possible—even when the opposition loses its most entrenched voices.
