“We can go back and talk about 1982 in Lebanon and all those American navies who were murdered. We can talk about October 7, where 45 Americans were killed. And they have kidnapped, you know, six or seven others and executed them before Israel saved them.

“It has been happening since 1979, and it is about to become a safer place, a non-nuclear Iran. And without having the money to be able to do what they have done, the world will be a safer place,” he added.

“If the Middle East becomes more security and stronger, look at which dynamic country Israel is. Look at all the unicorns that are there. Look at all the high tech and development. Look at all the wealth. If you have started to spread this to some of these other countries in the Middle East, with whom does he associate? China? It will be the United States because Donald Trump has paved the way for creating peace and prosperity for everyone in the region. “”

The president was not engaged in the possibility of military intervention when he was addressed to journalists outside the White House on Wednesday, saying that military strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear sites were not completely excluded.

“Yes, I can do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran has a lot of problems, and they want to negotiate,” said Trump. “And I said,” Why didn’t you negotiate with me before all this death and this destruction? Why didn’t you go? “I told people,” Why didn’t you negotiate with me two weeks ago? It’s very sad to look at that. “”

Trump pushed Iran to sign a nuclear agreement, but the talks between the two planned for Sunday were canceled after Iran withdrew a few days earlier. While the Trump administration weighs its options, Iran said that the United States entering the conflict would mean a “total war”.
