Donald Trump To Iran, “Hit the nuclear first, then worry about the rest later.”




Former US Prez Donald Trump talked up a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities amid the Israel-Iran war. This comes amid Israel's plan to target Iranian oil bases in its response to Iran's ballistic missile attacks on Oct 01. Addressing a rally in North Carolina, Trump said, 

“That's the thing you want to hit…” referring to Iran’s Nuclear sites. 

Notably, on Oct 04, Joe Biden declined “public negotiation” on Israel's stance to target Iranian oil bases. Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon told CNN that Jerusalem has a ‘lot of options’ for retaliation. Amid wide speculations, the Pentagon on October 04 stated that it was talking to Israel about its response to Iran's attack. 


In response to Iran’s attack, the IDF warned Iran of “severe consequences,” intensifying its ground and aerial operations in Lebanon. According to the IDF, it targeted over 2,000 military installations and eliminated 250 Hezbollah “terrorists”. Israel and Iran’s proxies have been exchanging fire across borders since Hamas' terror attack on Israel on October 7 of last year.
