In a striking development, President Trump delivered what could be considered one of his most memorable statements as he commented on Israel's recent military action against Iran.
This comes in the wake of Israel's significant offensive targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, a move that has captured global attention.
According to the Gateway Pundit, Israel launched a preemptive strike, dubbed "Strength of a Lion," following alarming intelligence reports indicating that Iran possessed sufficient enriched uranium to construct multiple nuclear weapons within a matter of days.
The Jewish state, facing a longstanding existential threat from Iran, acted decisively to thwart any potential nuclear aggression. Iran's leadership has consistently expressed its intent to annihilate Israel, raising concerns about the consequences should the Islamic Republic achieve its nuclear ambitions.
President Trump, in his response to Israel's successful operation, emphasized the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities. "Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb. Were hoping to get back to the negotiating table," he asserted. He further pledged that the United States would stand by Israel and defend itself should Iran choose to retaliate.
Reflecting on past diplomatic efforts, the President reminded the international community of his previous attempts to engage Iran in negotiations, having issued a 60-day ultimatum for a deal.
Remarkably, on the 61st day, Israel's decisive action underscored the consequences of Iran's intransigence. In a conversation with CNN's Dana Bash, Trump reiterated his unwavering support for Israel, stating, "We, of course, support Israel, obviously, and supported it like nobody has ever supported it."
He continued, "Iran should have listened to me when I said you know I gave them, I dont know if you know but I gave them a 60-day warning and today is day 61."
The President urged Iran to reconsider its stance and return to the negotiating table, particularly in light of the recent elimination of several hardline figures within its ranks. "They should now come to the table to make a deal before its too late. It will be too late for them. You know the people I was dealing with are dead, the hardliners," Trump remarked.
In a moment of levity, when questioned by Bash about the impact of Israel's strike on Iran's failure to heed his warning, Trump quipped, "They didnt die of the flu; they didnt die of Covid." This comment, delivered with characteristic humor, underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgency for Iran to engage in meaningful dialogue.
