Trump Signals Possible Strong Military Strike on Iran, Praises Netanyahu Amid Israeli Election

US President Donald Trump issued a series of sharp statements regarding Iran during a radio interview on Monday night, indicating the possibility of a significant military strike against Tehran. When asked about potential further military action, Trump said, "We will hit Iran very hard tonight and tomorrow." He declined to specify whether Israel would be involved, stating, "I’m not interested in talking about that. We will hit them hard tonight."

Trump also discussed the memorandum of understanding with Iran, describing it as a test of Tehran’s intentions which Iran failed to pass. Regarding his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump acknowledged occasional disagreements but emphasized their good rapport. "I get along well with Bibi. Sometimes I disagree with him, and I make sure people know that. In those cases, I was right," Trump said. He added, "I didn’t throw Bibi under the bus. He’s doing a good job. Without us, there would be no Israel. He’s doing a wonderful job."

When questioned about other candidates in the Israeli elections, Trump responded briefly, "I don’t know them." He also referred to Iran’s most fortified nuclear facility, hinting it could be a target for a "big, beautiful attack right on the doorstep." "All eyes are on it," he said, suggesting heightened US focus on this site.

Trump’s remarks underscore ongoing US-Iran tensions and his continued support for Netanyahu amid Israel’s political landscape. The possibility of military action against Iran remains open, with specific targets and Israeli involvement left ambiguous.
