In video remarks posted to Truth Social, Trump said the objective is to defend Americans by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, describing it as “a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“It’s been mass terror and we are not going to put up with it any longer,” Trump said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He added that “it has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I’ll say it again, they can never have a nuclear weapon.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
