US President Donald Trump said: Even if Washington had known that Iran would attack the Gulf countries in retaliation, the United States would still have waged war against Tehran.
“‘Gosh, I should have known?’ It’s not the same question. And it would be a big deal if we knew. I mean, we have to do what we have to do,” Trump said at a White House event.
Noting that several Gulf countries are under attack by Iran, he added: “Saudi Arabia, suddenly Kuwait is under attack. Kuwait is under attack. Bahrain is under attack. All these countries are under attack.” “There was no expert who said that would happen.”
U.S. President Donald Trump also said the war with Iran will not end this week, saying, “It will end soon,” and “It won’t take very long.”
“When this is all said and done, we will have a much safer world,” Trump said. “I am personally reluctant, but I feel we have an obligation to act.”
He characterized the campaign as a necessity rather than a war of choice, arguing that if the United States had not attacked Iran, nuclear war would have broken out and escalated into World War III.
These comments reflect the government’s shifting and often contradictory messages over the war years.
