If the US had not taken timely action and attacked Iran, there would not be a country called Israel today, US President Donald Trump has claimed. He made these explosive comments while talking to reporters.
Trump claimed that if he had not canceled the nuclear deal signed with Iran during the tenure of former President Barack Obama, Iran would have acquired nuclear weapons many years ago. And if that had happened, Israel would have been wiped off the map today.
Referring to the early steps of his administration, he also said that Iran's nuclear facilities were attacked using B-2 bombers at that time. If this decision had not been taken, Iran would have possessed a nuclear bomb and as a result, Israel would not have been found today.
According to Trump, not only Israel but also several other countries in the Middle East would have been completely wiped out or destroyed today due to Iran's nuclear power.
