Trump believes Americans back strikes on Iran, says White House

Investing.com -- President Donald Trump is confident that Americans support U.S. military strikes on Iran, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday.

"The president is smart enough to read past many of the fake news headlines produced by people in this room that his action was unjustifiable," Leavitt told a news briefing.

Leavitt described Iran as "a rogue terrorist regime that has been threatening the United States, our allies and our people for 47 years," adding that "the American people are smart enough to know that."
