Trump says war aimed at stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons

U.S. President Trump said the war was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, arguing that Iran would obtain them if the U.S. did not strike the country. Trump also said he was disappointed with Iran’s approach to negotiations, criticizing Tehran for agreeing at the negotiating table and then rejecting the terms through the media, while adding that Iran’s economy was in turmoil. On oil prices, Trump said they were lower than during the Biden administration.
