According to the US leader, Iran was warned last year after certain facilities were destroyed not to attempt to build nuclear weapons at a new location. However, according to Trump, Tehran continued its nuclear program.

“We warned Iran last year after those facilities were destroyed not to try to build nuclear weapons again at a new location.

But they continued to create it, and also continued producing ballistic missiles that could reach Europe, and one day, the US.

An Iranian regime with nuclear weapons and long-range missiles would pose a threat to our country,” Trump said.

Trump stated that the current situation was the best opportunity to strike Iran.

“This was our best opportunity to strike this evil and sick regime. The goals are clear — to destroy their missile production, destroy their navy, ensure they never acquire nuclear weapons, and most importantly — ensure the regime cannot fund terrorists in other countries.

We were close to reaching an agreement on these issues, but they rejected it. We have the strongest military in the world and we will easily win. We are already ahead of schedule.

But no matter how long it takes, we will achieve our goal. We projected 4–5 weeks, but we will fight as long as necessary. The media says I will lose interest in one or two weeks.

I don't get bored. If I were bored, I wouldn't be standing here,” Trump added.
