US President Donald Trump made a statement regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said: “We have 30-40 boats going out every night and a massive amount of oil flowing through the strait. So, we control the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s economy is collapsing.”
elchi reports that US President Donald Trump commented on current events in an interview with the UK-based news channel “GB News”. Touching upon the campaign launched against Iran, Trump stated that the goal is to prevent the Tehran regime from acquiring nuclear weapons. Responding to a question about Iran’s nuclear materials and recalling that they destroyed three nuclear facilities in the country, Trump said: “Parchin might still be there, but three facilities were completely destroyed. Also, we have a force called the Space Force that I created in my first term, and it is highly effective. Highly effective. We have cameras at every key point of the first three facilities. We also have cameras at Parchin. We know everyone who goes in and out. We can even read their names. We can do that; you can literally read their ID cards from space.” “Can you believe it?” he said.
“I am also protecting Europe from the Iranian threat”
When reminded that it would be difficult to get support from the American public for a war with Iran, Trump noted: “I am also protecting your country from this threat; because if Iran had nuclear weapons, they would be more likely to use them not against the US, but against Europe, which is within their missile range. I am saving your country from a big problem too, because they would definitely use these weapons. They were maybe two, maybe four weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, and we hit them with bombers.”
Trump criticized former US President Obama
Recalling that he canceled the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal) signed during the term of former US President Barack Obama in his first term, Trump said: “If I hadn’t canceled that deal, they would have had a nuclear weapon five years ago. I canceled the deal. But more importantly, a little over a year ago, we struck three key facilities where – in my words – tons of ‘nuclear dust’ were accumulating. This was material that could easily be turned into nuclear weapons. That material, which had gone through all the necessary processes, is now buried under millions of tons of mountain rock and will be very difficult to reach.”
