But the 81-year-old president has far from wavered from his aggressive rhetoric against Iran . The future of the US war in Iran hangs in the balance after Donald Trump and his Republican Party suffered a rout in the midterm elections.
“If we have to do the rest of the Iran thing, we’re very much locked and loaded. “Do we want to go further and just certify it? By certifying it, meaning it’ll never happen again.
I think it’ll take them 25 years to rebuild the country.
On Thursday (November 5), speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, Trump said that the US is “locked and loaded” to launch a potential operation in Iran, noting that the US military is building more weapons than “we’ve ever built before. “We’re building more weapons right now in our military than we’ve ever built before,” Trump said. In response to a previous question, Trump said that an attack on Iran is not off the table yet, but he is still undecided about it. “We’ll make a decision,” Trump said about future US actions in the West Asian country.
Trump’s comments came after he seemed to partially agree with Vice President JD Vance , who laid much of the blame for the Republicans’ midterm rout on the Iran war and its economic impact on Americans. At Thursday’s presser, Trump was asked about the reports of the nuclear proposal by Reuters.
Trump said he agreed partly with Vance but defended the war, saying he would “do it again” if faced with the same choice. He said that Iran is “not doing anything without US approval.”
