Washington: Former president of the United States donald trump has called on Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities in response to the Islamic republic’s recent missile attacks. He made this statement while speaking at a campaign event in North Carolina on Friday.
Criticism of Biden’s stance on Iran
Trump’s comments came after the president joe biden He was asked earlier this week whether he would support Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Biden responded by saying, “The answer is no,” implying that he does not support such actions.
Trump harshly criticized Biden’s response, saying: “They asked him: what do you think about Iran? Would you hit Iran? And he says: ‘As long as they don’t attack the nuclear material.’ That’s what you want to hit, right?” Trump continued: “Isn’t that what you’re supposed to hit? “I mean, it’s the biggest risk we have: nuclear weapons.”
Trump’s call to attack Iran’s nuclear sites
During the town hall event in Fayetteville, Trump said the focus should be on neutralizing nuclear threats. He said: “When asked that question, the answer should have been: attack nuclear power first and worry about the rest later.”
According to Trump, Biden’s reluctance to attack Iran’s nuclear program is a mistake. And he added: “If they are going to do it, they will do it. But we’ll find out what his plans are.”
Biden’s position on the Israeli response
Biden, on the other hand, emphasized a different approach during a surprise press conference on Friday and said Iran should look for other alternatives to handle Iran. Biden suggested that Israel should attack Iran’s oil facilities and try to stop the escalation of war in the Middle East. Following Iran’s launch of almost 200 missiles towards Israel, he reiterated that Israel has the right to defend itself, but stressed that its response must be proportional. “We will discuss with the Israelis what they are going to do,” Biden said, adding that G7 members agree on Israel’s right to respond, as long as it is proportionate.
