Washington: <\/strong>Former US President Donald Trump stated that Israel should target Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities in retaliation to the Islamic Republic\u2019s recent missile attacks. This comment followed President Joe Biden\u2019s assertion that an \u201call-out war\u201d is unlikely and should be avoided amidst the growing tensions between Israel and Iran.<\/p>\n Trump was responding to a question directed at President Biden regarding the potential of Israel striking Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities after a 200-missile assault.<\/p>\n \u201cThey asked him, \u2018What do you think about Iran? Would you hit Iran?\u2019 And he says, \u2018Only if they don\u2019t hit the nuclear sites.\u2019 But isn\u2019t that exactly what you should target?\u201d Trump remarked.<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cThat\u2019s the primary threat we face\u2014nuclear weapons.\u201d The Republican Presidential nominee for the upcoming November 5 US elections suggested that Biden should have encouraged Israel to strike Iran\u2019s nuclear locations and \u201cdeal with the rest later.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey will act if they decide to. We will eventually learn of their plans,\u201d added Donald Trump.<\/p>\n The 78-year-old\u2019s comments followed President Joe Biden\u2019s statement that an \u201call-out war\u201d in the Middle East was unlikely. When questioned about the likelihood of a major war erupting in the Middle East as Lebanon and Iran confront Israel, Biden replied, \u201cHow confident are you that it won\u2019t rain? Look, I don\u2019t believe there will be an all-out war. I think we can prevent it.\u201d<\/p>\n In response to whether he would deploy American troops to support Israel, he said, \u201cWe have already assisted Israel. We will continue to protect Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n Significantly, Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivering his first Friday sermon in five years, described Iran\u2019s attack on Israel as \u201clegal and legitimate,\u201d calling it the least punishment for \u201cIsrael\u2019s crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIsrael claims victory through assassinations, destruction, bombings, and the killing of civilians. Such actions have only bolstered the resistance\u2019s resolve. This fact indicates that any attack by any group on Israel is a service to the region and humanity,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n This sermon, his first since 2020, occurred shortly before the one-year anniversary of Hamas\u2019 assault on Israel.<\/p>\nLike this:<\/h3>\n
