President Trump
Launches Military Strikes Against Iran With Israel
Published
The United States and Israel have officially attacked Iran … as President Trump announced the American and Israeli armed forces have begun “major combat missions” on the country.
Trump uploaded a video message online late Friday night, telling the world his objective is to “defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian régime — a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.”
The prez also said Iran has waged a 47-year campaign of “bloodshed and mass murder” against the United States and its allies. Trump noted he would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon despite the country’s efforts to rebuild its nuclear program after the U.S. destroyed it last summer.
