US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the attack by American and Israeli forces on Iran was necessary to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon, claiming that if Washington had not acted first, Iran could have struck Israel.
“If we didn’t hit within two weeks, they would have had a nuclear weapon,” Trump said during remarks at an event at the White House.
