Trump: "I could have destroyed Iran's infrastructure in 3 days - Saudi Arabia asked to wait"

Trump revealed in an interview with Steven A. Smith that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states asked him to wait before expanding the strikes on Iran, even though the US is capable of paralyzing its infrastructure in three days. He admitted that the war hurt the Republicans in the midterm elections due to fuel prices, and announced that he does not need an agreement with Tehran.

US President Donald Trump revealed in a wide-ranging interview with commentator Steven A. Smith that the Gulf states, led by Saudi Arabia, asked him to avoid escalating the military attack on Iran at this stage, even though he said the United States is capable of paralyzing the country's main infrastructure within three days. Trump admitted that the war in Iran contributed to the Republicans' loss in the midterm elections due to rising fuel prices, but insisted that the decision to go to war was correct. In the interview, Trump also addressed feelings of revenge toward Iran, a hypothetical confrontation with Barack Obama, and the black community's support for Democrats. He earlier announced that the US does not need an agreement with Iran and asked his deputy JD Vance to focus on domestic affairs.
