Donald Trump has stated that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon under his watch while seeming to suggest his administration won’t respond militarily to Iran following the Islamic Republic’s missile attacks on US airbases Tuesday night.
Trump in the White House press conference said he will impose more economic sanctions on Iran, asked Europe to get behind his maximum pressure campaign on Iran, asked NATO to get more involved with Middle East peace and said that the US military had new hypersonic weapons to use if needed.
He said “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon as long as I’m president’ ‘Good morning ladies and gentlemen. No Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime, Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned, we will be imposing additional financial and economic sanctions on Iran, which would remain until Iran changes its behaviour. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism, we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place”.
