Trump: Iran Called Moments Before Unprecedented Attack
US President Donald Trump said tonight that the US was prepared for a large-scale attack on Iran, but Iran called at the last moment. He clarified that he prefers a diplomatic solution and an agreement, but did not rule out military action if no agreement is reached. Trump also attacked the Democratic Senate candidate from Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, for his positions against Israel.
US President Donald Trump addressed the talks with Iran tonight (Thursday) and said he still prefers a diplomatic solution, but clarified that the US was prepared for a large-scale attack. According to him, "We were ready for the biggest attack of all attacks, and we have already prepared very severe blows against them in recent months. We were ready for the biggest attack since World War II - and then they called." He added that "we may have to raise them again" referring to oil prices. Later, Trump attacked Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate from Michigan who won the primary this week, for his positions against Israel, saying he "does not like Israel and does not like the Jewish people" and that the polls published before the election were wrong.
