U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview that he could immediately end the conflict with Iran but is refraining from doing so at the request of allies, including Israel, who prefer a more prolonged and "civilized" approach. Trump explained that these allies, along with other Middle Eastern nations, asked him to act as he is currently, rather than pursuing a more aggressive strategy that could have quickly destroyed Iran's regime and energy infrastructure.
Trump asserted that the U.S. military has largely crippled Iran's military capabilities, claiming its navy is gone, air force disabled, air defense destroyed, and much of its leadership eliminated. He described the U.S. actions as a "devastating blow" that has prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which he claimed was only two weeks away before the U.S. intervened.
The interview comes amid ongoing tensions, with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claiming responsibility on November 13 for striking a U.S. early warning radar station in Bahrain. The IRGC stated this was retaliation for an earlier Iranian air attack on a communication tower in Sirik, southern Iran, marking the first time since early September that Iran has claimed responsibility for attacking U.S. military targets in the Persian Gulf.
Trump defended his decision to initiate military action against Iran, calling it a "great decision" from a historical perspective, despite potential short-term political costs like rising gas prices. He emphasized that the primary goal was to prevent the "world's leading sponsor of terrorism" from acquiring nuclear weapons.
He also characterized Iran's leadership as an "evil empire," citing their slogans of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel," and accusing them of recently killing 75,000 protesters. Trump differentiated his stance from the Iranian people, whom he stated he does not hate, but expressed strong condemnation for their government.
