The president-elect held a press conference Monday at Mar-a-Lago during which he lashed out at a CNN reporter who asked how he plans to respond to an increasingly hostile Iran.

"Would you be in support of pre-emptive strikes on Iran's nuclear targets?" the reporter asked.

"How could I tell you a thing like that? Now? It's just — so you don't talk about that before something," said Trump.

"May or may not happen, you know... just. Well, you know, I don't want to insult you. I just think — it's just not something that I would never answer having to do with there or any other place in the world."

One of Trump's foes in his first administration was Iran and he withdrew from a treaty with the country, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was never reestablished.

In September, Trump said he would consider another agreement with Iran.
