Trump Claims US Not Initiator of Conflict with Iran, Cites 1979

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday sought to deflect domestic and international pressure stemming from recent actions concerning Iran. Presenting a narrative that U.S. involvement in conflict with Iran did not originate from American aggression, Trump claimed that Iran has been waging war against the United States since 1979. He stated, “This matter should have been addressed much earlier!”

Trump, seemingly overlooking recent political setbacks, asserted, “We won. We want to ensure we achieve total victory, not a 93 percent victory. The war with Iran will end soon, and after that, the world will be a better place!”

Disregarding Iran’s stated peaceful nuclear program, Trump commented, “We are working to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons. I hope we won’t need to destroy anything in Iran anymore; because there is a lot of work to be done to rebuild what we have already destroyed!”

Regarding Venezuela, Donald Trump also claimed, “I contacted China and Russia and told them: you must leave. They left. But we did not leave!”
