US President Donald J Trump Rejects Claims of Israeli Influence in Iran War Decision, Reiterates Hardline Nuclear Stance.
Washington, D.C.:
U.S. President Donald J. Trump has issued a forceful statement denying that Israel influenced his decision regarding military action against Iran, while reaffirming his long-standing position that Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
In a social media post, Trump said, “Israel never talked me into the war with Iran,” attributing his stance instead to the aftermath of the October 7 attacks and what he described as his lifelong belief that Iran should be permanently denied nuclear capability.
He further argued that recent developments in the Middle East strengthened his position, stating that the events of October 7 reinforced his view of Iran as a long-term security threat. Trump also reiterated that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains a central pillar of his foreign policy approach.
In his statement, the former president sharply criticized mainstream media and public polling, claiming that “FAKE NEWS” outlets routinely spread misinformation and that opinion surveys are “rigged.” He also revived earlier allegations of electoral fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and referenced Venezuela as an example of political outcomes he views as misrepresented by global media.
Trump further suggested that Iran could experience a positive transformation under new leadership, referencing the possibility of regime change and stating that the country could achieve a “great and prosperous future” if managed by capable leaders.
The remarks come amid heightened geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran, ongoing diplomatic maneuvering, and continued debate within the United States over the direction and consequences of Middle East policy.
