Trump Downplays US Troops' Injuries from Iran Strike
Former President Trump has sparked controversy by dismissing the traumatic brain injuries suffered by U.S. troops during a 2020 Iranian missile strike, referring to their condition as merely 'headaches.' Trump's remarks, including questions like 'You mean because they had a headache?' have drawn sharp criticism from military officials and political opponents, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz condemning his comments as disrespectful to military heroes. Despite the pushback, Trump has continued to minimize the significance of the injuries, leading to a heated debate surrounding his handling of military matters.
