In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump voiced significant concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. During a discussion with NBC’s Tom Llamas, Trump expressed unwavering support for Iranian protesters demanding change amid a harsh crackdown by the Iranian regime.
Trump’s Warning to Khamenei
Trump specifically addressed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating, “Be very worried.” He claimed that the U.S. has always supported these protesters, emphasizing that the Iranian regime’s defense capabilities are severely compromised. This, he attributed to previous U.S. military interventions.
Historical Context of U.S. Intervention
Trump highlighted a pivotal moment from the previous U.S. military action during a 12-day war. He noted that B-2 bombers successfully targeted and destroyed Iranian nuclear facilities, which he believes was essential for achieving peace in the Middle East.
- Trump stated: “If we didn’t take out that nuclear, we wouldn’t have peace in the Middle East.”
- He asserted that Iran is currently attempting to rebuild its nuclear capabilities.
- Trump stressed a firm stance against any new nuclear sites, declaring, “If you do that, we’re going to do very bad things to you.”
Recent Developments in U.S.-Iran Relations
The former president’s remarks come in the wake of canceled U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. These discussions, initially set for a Friday meeting, faced delays over disputes regarding the location, format, and agenda.
As tensions continue to rise, Trump’s statements reinforce the ongoing complexities of U.S.-Iran relations, highlighting his administration’s aggressive stance toward perceived threats from Tehran.
