If I were president, Iran’s attack on Israel would never have occurred – Trump

Former President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time weighing in on Iran’s recent airstrike against Israel. In a statement on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump declared, “ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK. This should never have been allowed to happen – This would NEVER have happened if I were President!”

The Israeli Defense Forces reported that Iran had launched dozens of drones against Israel, prompting the US to pledge its support to the embattled nation. National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson reiterated President Biden’s commitment to Israel’s security, stating, “our support for Israel’s security is ironclad.”

Trump’s stance on Israel’s offensive in Gaza has been a topic of debate, with conflicting statements from the former president. While initially offering enthusiastic backing for Israel’s retaliatory actions, Trump’s recent comments have raised questions about his unwavering support.

In a surprising twist, Trump also criticized President Biden for not addressing the nation following Iran’s attack, claiming that Biden’s handlers convinced him not to release a taped speech. However, Biden had already cut his trip short to handle the crisis and was meeting with his national security team at the White House.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, a staunch Trump ally, also blamed Biden for the escalating tensions with Iran, accusing the administration of undermining Israel and appeasing Iran.

As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes are on Trump’s upcoming campaign event in Pennsylvania, where he is expected to address the Iranian attacks and further criticize the Biden administration’s handling of the crisis. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
