Former U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his claim that Israel and the entire Middle East would cease to exist if he had not intervened to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump stated on his Truth Social platform that his decisions and military actions against the Islamic Republic were directly responsible for the region's security. This is not the first time Trump has made such a declaration; he previously told Fox News that Israel would not exist today without his presidency. He also made similar remarks in June, stating that Iranian nuclear armament would mean the end of Israel and the Middle East.
Amid these statements, Trump also addressed potential future U.S. actions against Iran. When asked on November 5 about reports of Iranian negotiators considering a new proposal for their nuclear program, conveyed via Qatar, Trump asserted that Iran cannot act on its nuclear ambitions without U.S. approval. "They don't do anything without our approval. It doesn't matter what they are looking at. They will not have a nuclear weapon," he said.
Trump did not rule out further military action against Iran, stating, "Now we will make a decision on Iran. Do we want to go further and make sure this never happens again? I would prefer, if possible, not to destroy the rest of the country. But I may have to. You will all know soon." This follows a pattern of shifting public statements from Trump regarding potential strikes on Iran, with U.S. forces remaining prepared for action.
