US President Donald Trump has asserted that the recent military action by the United States and Israel against Iran was driven by the imminent threat of Tehran developing nuclear weapons in the coming weeks.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the head of the White House made these remarks during an interview with Fox News while commenting on the operations targeting Iranian infrastructure.
"If we had not done this, they would have possessed a nuclear warhead within two weeks. After that, none of these actions would have been possible," the US President stated, emphasizing the narrow window of opportunity for the intervention.
The tensions between Washington and Tehran have remained a focal point of global security, with the United States consistently maintaining that it will not allow Iran to achieve nuclear breakout capability. This latest development follows years of diplomatic friction and economic sanctions aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran has historically claimed is for peaceful purposes. The involvement of Israel in these operations underscores the strategic alliance between Washington and its primary Middle Eastern partner in addressing regional proliferation concerns.
