“If I allowed Iran to have a nuclear weapon, today there would be no Israel. Israel would’ve been wiped off the face of the earth,” Trump said.
Trump made the remarks while defending his administration’s position on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its military actions against Tehran. His comments underline Washington’s continued emphasis on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which the US administration has repeatedly described as a major security concern.
The statement also highlights the central role of Israel in Trump's justification of his Iran policy, as tensions between Washington and Tehran remain a major issue in international geopolitics.
Trump's remarks are likely to draw further attention amid continuing debate over the US military campaign, Iran's nuclear programme and the wider security situation in the Middle East.
