Summary
At a Texas rally Wednesday, Donald Trump said the U.S. would protect Los Angeles and San Diego after again warning that Iran could "take out" the two cities.
Trump paired that warning with a pledge that Iran will "never have a nuclear weapon," framing the city threat as part of his broader argument for stopping Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
The remarks came as Republicans are struggling in Texas, giving the rally speech both a national-security message and a domestic political backdrop.
