♦️ Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in an interview with the "Axios Show," defended his decision to initiate military operations in Iran, describing the officials of the Islamic Republic as "very smart" and "primitive geniuses," while warning that they are also very unpredictable.

Trump, referring to the recent military intervention by the United States, said: "I had to take action to stop them; because if they had nuclear weapons, they would definitely use them and create real chaos by blowing up several cities, including in Israel."

He emphasized that if it weren't for his action to withdraw from the JCPOA, Israel would have been destroyed years ago, considering the Obama-era agreement as a pathway for the Islamic Republic of Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb. Trump also expressed surprise at the timing of the confrontation with Iran, adding: "What surprised me was that they waited so long. They waited for me to come back to power; of course, this was not intentional on their part. No one, even with the weapon-making government structure against me, thought I would return, but I came back with a bigger roar than before."
