"Israel did not pressure the US to launch military operations against Iran" — US President
Donald Trump says that he himself forced Israel to act.
The President of the United States on Tuesday denied speculations in Congress among his supporters that the US had forced Israel to attack Iran.
"We negotiated with these 'lunatics' in Iran, and I felt they would attack first. I did not want this attack to happen," said Trump.
The White House leader also emphasized that Iran now lacks air defense and surveillance systems, so they must be prepared for serious losses, noting that many individuals considered alternative candidates for the country's current government were killed during the attacks.
Donald Trump criticized Great Britain for asking the US not to use its bases in operations against Iran, remarking that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is not a great politician like Winston Churchill.
"Oil prices may remain high for a while longer, but they will definitely fall later," added Trump.
