Donald Trump, the President of the United States, on Sunday, April 23, defended the U.S. military intervention in Iran during an interview with Fox News, stating that the main goal of this action was to prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons.

In response to a question about why the U.S. entered the conflicts, he said, "The simplest answer is that they should not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons." Trump claimed that Iran has the infrastructure and materials necessary to produce nuclear weapons and could have achieved this "within a month" without intervention.

Trump also mentioned U.S. attacks, stating that B-2 bombers targeted and "completely destroyed" the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities. He considered this operation to be the main factor in preventing the advancement of the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.

The President of the United States further stated that Iran had previously attacked several regional countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain, and had fired about "1,800 missiles" at the UAE.
