US: Trump said Israel should “deliver a nuclear strike first and worry about the rest later”
US: Reacting to an Iranian missile strike on Tuesday, Donald Trump has advised Israel to “hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later”.
On Friday during a campaign rally in North Carolina, the Republican presidential contender said. He was reacting to remarks made by President Joe Biden, who remarked, “They have a right to respond, but they should respond proportionately,” while referencing Israel. Inquired if this may involve attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites, the president said, “The answer is no.”
Iran said that its retaliation to the deaths of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which occurred last week and in July respectively, was firing roughly 180 missiles toward Israel on October 1.
The BBC claims that restaurants and schools as well as various Israeli military locations were targeted. Falling missile debris killed a Palestinian residing in the West Bank, the only victim.
Speaking on Friday, Trump seemed to reinterpret Biden’s comments: “They asked him, ‘What do you think about Iran? Would you attack Iran?” And he leaves, ‘As long as they don’t strike the nuclear equipment.'”You want to strike that, right? I replied I believe he’s mistaken, and isn’t that the one you should target?
Nuclear weapons, their potency, represent the greatest peril mankind face. “Hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later.,” he said when asked the question.
The U.N.’s nuclear inspector claims that Iran has uranium enhanced to 60 percent purity, near that needed to create a nuclear weapon. Tehran claims its nuclear program is benign, but many think the country’s ultimate objective is to build nuclear weapons.
Newsweek emailed officials of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaigns as well as the White House press office on Saturday outside of usual business hours.
Iran claimed to have responded to an Israeli strike on Damascus, Syria, which killed two Iranian generals by attacking Israel with scores of missiles and drones on April 13.
Israel responded with a somewhat symbolic attack on an Iranian radar station close to Isfahan in central Iran, but experts generally anticipate the retaliation to be on a far more extensive scope this time.
The October 7, 2023 Hamas onslaught on southern Israel celebrates Monday as the one-year anniversary. Hundreds of Hamas militants unexpectedly attacked, killing about 1,200 Israelis mostly civilians. About 100 of the several hundred additional Israelis transported to Gaza as captives are still being kept; it is unknown how many remain alive.
Targeting the Gaza Strip, where more than 41,000 Palestinians have been murdered according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry, Israel started a huge air and ground attack.
