Trump says Iran war prevented nuclear weapons, expresses no regret
U.S. President Donald Trump said they entered the war to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and that he has no regrets about the decision. The remarks came after attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran and the subsequent ceasefire process between the parties.
Donald Trump defended the decision to go to war against Iran, saying the move prevented it from acquiring nuclear weapons. The U.S. president described the operation as one of the best things his country has ever done.
Trump answered reporters’ questions on Wednesday evening as he departed the White House for an election rally in South Carolina. Asked whether he regretted the decision to go to war with Iran, Trump said he did not and stated that they had prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
"No, I think this is one of the best things we’ve done. We prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."
Trump argued that previous U.S. presidents had not made a similar decision, claiming that Iran could have acquired a nuclear weapon and used it if the U.S. attack had not taken place.
Attacks and ceasefire on the Iran front
The United States and Israel began attacks against Iran on February 28. Iran responded by attacking Israel and U.S. positions in countries across the region. The parties reached a ceasefire in April.
After negotiations between the two countries ended without a result, the United States launched renewed attacks on some sites in Iran. Following these developments, the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-June.
Iran announced that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz again on July 12, after the United States resumed its attacks on July 8.
