Trump: If the US and Israel had not carried out preemptive strikes, Iran would already have nuclear weapons now
"If we had not taken action within two weeks, Iran would have had nuclear weapons. If we had not used B-2 bombers for strikes several months ago, Iran would have already had nuclear weapons. When a madman has nuclear weapons, bad things happen. So everything is fine for now. I hope you understand this, and we will continue to push forward. But this is an excellent demonstration of military power, and I am very proud, together with some people in this hall — whether senators or members of Congress — we have restored and strengthened our position."
Trump attributes the current stagnation of Iran's nuclear program entirely to previous preemptive military strikes by the US and Israel, and emphasizes that this action has prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. However, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Grossi, who has been conducting inspections of Iran, has never stated that Iran is committed to developing nuclear weapons.
