Other commenters were sharply critical, for example Arthur Wederell: "Who's Iran attacked", Keith Levitt: "Never had a conflict this widespread there prior to him.", Mark Sala: "I am really starting to wonder what planet this guy is on", and Michael Gilhooley: "From his ivory tower, it's always for our safety !☢️!💨"

The Facebook post frames the remark as occurring "as the conflict against Iran escalates" and links readers to Sky News Australia for further detail, but the post itself does not specify when, where, or in what setting President Trump made the quoted comment.
