Trump Spoke About the Canceled U.S. Attack on Iran — The Economic Times
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States had been preparing a large-scale strike against Iran, which could have been the largest since World War II. According to him, the decision was ultimately made to call off the operation, even though preparations for it were already underway.
The White House leader believes that Iran “respects Americans.”
At the same time, he added that the United States has to “beat all the nonsense out of” the Iranian regime.
Against this backdrop, Trump assured that he would like to reach an agreement with Tehran, as he does not want innocent people to die.
“We’re beating all the nonsense out of them. But I’d prefer to reach a deal because I don’t want to kill people. However, at one point, we were preparing for the largest attack of all, and over the past few months, we have dealt them very powerful blows. We were fully prepared for the largest attack since World War II,” Trump said.
According to the U.S. president, this attack was called off after representatives of the Iranian regime personally called him and asked him not to launch it.
“And they called me and said, ‘Please don’t do this, let’s talk.’ And then they claim, ‘We never said that.’ You know what? The fake media knows they really did say that,” Trump asserted.
The White House chief also added that negotiations with Tehran are ongoing, but he does not know how events will unfold from here.
This was stated by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to The Economic Times.
