President Donald Trump said that he took the decision to launch a war against Iran because it was the “last, best chance” to stop the country’s alleged nuclear bomb programme.
“This was our last, best chance to strike, what we’re doing right now, and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this […] regime,” Trump said at the White House.
Trump said that the US attack on Iran is meeting its goals ahead of schedule but also warned the war could go “far longer” than his initial estimates of about a month.
“We’re already substantially ahead of our time projections,” Trump said at the White House, adding: “From the beginning we projected four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that. We’ll do it.”
US President Donald Trump said he ordered the US military to attack Iran to thwart Tehran’s nuclear programme and a ballistic missile program that he said was growing rapidly.
