U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that the United States would "hit them hard" due to ongoing tensions between the two nations. Speaking at a campaign rally in Alaska, Trump told the audience, "Just wait and see what we do to Iran. We will hit them hard. Just wait and see." He explained the aggressive stance by saying, "They are waiting. Just wait and see what we do to Iran, because we are more or less fed up."
Trump reiterated that the U.S. administration's primary objective remains preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. "But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that they will not have nuclear weapons, and they will not have them. It's buried under thousands of tons of rock," he said, referring to Iran's nuclear facilities.
Earlier, it was reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had spoken with President Trump the previous week about the possibility of renewing actions against Iran. According to the report, American officials were under the impression that Netanyahu was interested in resuming strikes against Iran before the elections, citing Iran's concerning new nuclear steps as a reason.
When asked by journalists about the Israeli elections and his lack of endorsement for any candidate despite his close relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Trump stated, "We haven't even thought about it," but added, "Maybe I'll do something about it."
Trump concluded his remarks on Iran by declaring, "Iran is a failed state. They have no economy. They have 300% inflation. They have no money. They don't pay their soldiers. They don't pay anyone. We will make a decision on Iran very soon."
