Minutes after President Trump announced that U.S. airmen had safely left Iranian airspace following successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear weapon enrichment facilities Saturday night, CNN’s Clarissa Ward took to CNN Newsroom to gripe about how Trump threw a “curveball” into the plans of European leaders who wanted to negotiate with the regime. She went further and suggested that innocent Iranian people were going to “to pay the consequences” for Trump’s decision.

“And so, this is kind of Pandora's box,” Ward told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, lamenting that efforts from European leaders were for not.

Later, Ward warned that the Islamist regime could be more dangerous than ever. “[A] wounded dog can be their most dangerous when they're kind of on the back foot, when they are weakened,” she said.
