Donald Trump encourages Israel to strike Iran’s nuclear sites

During a rally in North Carolina, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took the opposite approach to Joe Biden, encouraging Israel to strike Iran’s nuclear sites.

“They ask him (Joe Biden) what do you think about Iran? Would you hit Iran? And he goes as long as they don’t hit the nuclear stuff – that’s the thing you want to hit,” Mr Trump said.

“I think he’s got that one wrong - isn’t that what you’re supposed to hit?”

It would be a major mistake to let Iran complete a nuclear weapon.

He’s right. Make America Strong Again 💪 TRUMP 🇺🇸

[YouShouldThinkYourself]

He was referring to Iran's nuclear arms development efforts and secret uranium enrichment facilities.
He was not "encouraging" a strike he was stating the obvious targets.

[forebearing]

the mental gymnastics to support this guy and to claim to be anti-war is crazy

[nonjaninja]

As usual, Trump is probably right about this in the long run. Iran or any islamic state having nukes is a bad idea.

[svietka]

and this is why as an Israeli I watch your channel religiously and this is why majority of Israelis pray that Trump will be the next president

[Lamtitude]

So basically, Trump spoke gave an example of what you’d want to attack, hypothetically. He didn’t say anyone should do anything.

DONALD TRUMP SHOULD GO TO THE MIDDLE EAST HIMSELF AND NEGOTIATE A PEACE PLAN. PEOPLE LISTEN TO DONALD TRUMP.

[CUBEINASOUL]

I have been a pro Trumper since 2016, this is a completely disqualifying statement. Not voting

[lightningdriver]

Atomic ayatollahs do not instill much confidence.

[Eda-fp]

[muufcem]
