US President Donald Trump said today, Wednesday, that the United States will strike a new blow to Iran if it tries to rebuild its nuclear program.
Trump’s statement came during his conversation with reporters while attending the NATO summit in the Netherlands, according to Fox News.
The United States praised an Israeli report stating that the strikes that targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities had brought back Iran’s nuclear program for years.
One of the journalists asked Trump if he would face a new blow to Iran if it rebuilt its nuclear facilities. Trump replied in short, “Certainly.”
Roti: Trump is a strong man
This dialogue came after the Secretary -General of NATO, Mark Retti, praised President Trump, describing him as a “strong man” and “peace man” during the Wednesday summit.
“I would like to express my appreciation for your decisive movement towards Iran. You are a strong man, but you are also a peaceful man. The fact that you are now also succeeded in achieving a ceasefire between Israel and Iran – I would like to salute you. I think this is very important to the whole world,” Roti said at the beginning of his joint statements with the president.
Roti also praised Trump’s efforts to push NATO members to increase their defensive spending, and said that the president “is achieving a new great success”, after all countries except Spain agreed to allocate 5% of its gross domestic product to defensive spending. “
He added that Trump has accomplished what “no American president could achieve for decades.”
With regard to the strikes that targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, the reactions of the leaders of the NATO countries came different. A number of them called for calm and avoiding escalation, while confirming that Iran’s possession of a nuclear weapon poses a serious threat to global security.
It is noteworthy that Trump managed to push Iran and Israel to a ceasefire on Tuesday, an agreement that has survived so far despite his tense start that witnessed the explosion of Trump’s frustration from both sides.
