Iran being the US’s greatest adversary is a stone cold dumb answer. They aren’t a threat to us. We aren’t Israel. A better answer would be China who is scooping up allies globally and a massive economic adversary. Personally I believe we should collaborate not turn them into an enemy. I’ve seen credible reporting for example that China has a cure for diabetes which our scientists can’t collaborate on. But that all aside that would have been a logical answer. She said Iran then ranted about Israel. That wasn’t the question. It was about the US. Alarming really for someone wanting to be President. They chose not to air that answer on the main segment shown it’s on some extra segment more hidden.

Has China ever bombed the US?

No, but NATO bombed the Chinese embassy during the bombing of Belgrade, so I guess technically the US has bombed China.
