Americans wouldnt be wrong to fear retaliatory attacks on the U.S. as part of the war with Iran, according to President Donald Trump.
I guess, Trump told TIME when asked if those in the United States should worry about domestic attacks.
But I think theyre worried about that all the time, Trump added. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Attacks and plots in the U.S. by foreign adversaries and extremist groups were a common feature during the War on Terror over the first two decades of the 2000s. Critics of the president were alarmed by his comments on Iran.

Well we are all going to die.
