Trump Says Israel Should Hit Iran’s Nuclear Facilities, Slamming Biden’s Response
Former President Donald Trump has urged Israel to target Iran’s nuclear facilities in response to the recent missile attacks by Iran. Speaking at a campaign event in North Carolina, Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s stance on the issue, saying that Biden’s response was misguided. Trump argued that the primary target should be Iran’s nuclear sites, emphasizing that nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat.
Biden had stated unequivocally that the United States would not support strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying “The answer is no.” Trump disagreed with this response, suggesting that Israel should “hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later.” The escalation in tensions in the Middle East, particularly following Iran’s firing of nearly 200 missiles towards Israel, has led to increased scrutiny of both countries’ actions and responses.
Trump has been critical of the Biden administration’s handling of the situation, placing blame on both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the ongoing crisis. The G7 nations agree that while Israel has the right to respond, such responses should be proportionate. Discussions between the U.S. and Israeli leaders regarding their response to Iran’s actions are ongoing, with Biden affirming that these discussions will continue.
