Trump shrugs off Iran’s threats as U.S. strikes push ahead

President Trump dismissed threats from Iran’s top national-security official Ali Larijani in a CBS News interview, saying he 'couldn’t care less' and that U.S. strikes would continue until Iran unconditionally surrenders. He claimed Iran’s military is being decimated and downplayed calls for greater ally involvement. The report also notes Iran’s internal leadership shifts, with an interim three-person council and Pezeshkian’s initial apology for retaliatory strikes followed by a backtrack asserting Iran targeted U.S. bases rather than neighboring states.
