Former U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced strong support for Israel to take decisive action against Iran’s nuclear sites in light of recent missile attacks from the Islamic Republic. In response to President Joe Biden’s statement that an “all-out war” in the Middle East is unlikely, Trump emphasized the importance of addressing Iran’s nuclear capabilities as a top priority.
During a recent interview, Trump criticized Biden’s approach, urging him to advocate for Israel to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. He stated, “Isn’t that what you’re supposed to hit? I mean, it’s the biggest risk we have, nuclear weapons.” Trump’s comments come amid heightened tensions, with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei justifying attacks on Israel as “legal and legitimate.”
As the 2024 Republican presidential candidate, Trump is rallying support for a more aggressive stance against perceived threats from Iran, arguing that it is critical to safeguard regional and global security. He stated, “If they’re going to do it, they’re going to do it. But we’ll find out whatever their plans are.”
With the situation in the Middle East evolving, Trump’s remarks underscore the ongoing debate surrounding U.S. foreign policy and military strategy in the region.
