Trump Denies Starting War with Iran, Distorts Reality Amid Rising Tensions
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, denied initiating a war with Iran in response to rising domestic and international pressures resulting from the unlawful incursion into Iranian territory. In a misrepresentation of facts, he claimed that the U.S. has not started any war with Iran. Trump asserted that Iran has continuously taken actions against the U.S. since 1979 and that these issues should have been addressed long ago.
Seemingly dismissing his recent defeat in the U.S. congressional elections, Trump stated, “We have won and intend to achieve a complete victory, not a partial 93 percent victory.” He also said that the war with Iran would end soon and that the world would become a better place thereafter.
These claims come amid evidence that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful in nature and emphasizes reducing tensions. Trump added, “We are trying to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and hope that there will no longer be a need to destroy anything in Iran, as significant efforts will be required to rebuild the damage caused in the past.”
In another part of his remarks, Donald Trump referred to Venezuela, mentioning that he has contacted China and Russia and asked them to leave the region, a request to which both countries have agreed; however, the U.S. remains present there.
These statements come amid widespread criticism of the U.S. invasion of Iranian territory without legal authorization, which has had extensive negative domestic and international consequences.
