President vows consequences, says Iran "won't have a nuclear weapon," offers condolences as investigation continues

During a brief exchange with reporters, the president said the United States would prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, warned that those responsible for the deaths of U.S. service members in Jordan "are going to pay a big price," and said an investigation into the killings is ongoing.

The remarks came as reporters pressed for details about how the service members were killed in Jordan and what the president would tell their families. The president paid tribute to the fallen as "great heroes" and called preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon one of the presidency's harder responsibilities.

Asked for an update on the investigation, the president said there was "no" new information and that officials "are doing that," offering no timeline or specifics about which agencies are leading the inquiry. He later warned that those responsible "are going to pay a big price" and said, "they're being decimated," language indicating possible punitive action but not describing any concrete steps.

When a reporter asked what he would say to the families of the deceased, the president responded, "All I'm gonna say is we love you. We love your child," and expressed gratitude before closing the exchange. He also referenced recent polling, saying that while Americans dislike higher gasoline prices, they "are not against the war," and reiterated, "Nobody wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon." The administration did not provide further factual updates in the exchange.

No formal actions, timelines for the investigation, or operational details were announced during the briefing. Reporters continued to press for more information, but the president's responses were limited to the statements above.
