President Donald Trump said Wednesday that no previous US president has been as tough on Iran as he has, according to a report from Israeli media. The self-assessment comes as the US air campaign against Iranian targets continues.
President Donald Trump asserted Wednesday that his administration has been the toughest ever on Iran, stating 'there has never been a president who was so tough on Iran,' according to an Israeli media report. The remark, made as the US continues its aerial campaign against Iranian targets, appears to defend his approach amid ongoing US–Iran hostilities. As The Zioneer previously reported, Trump has alternated between warnings of 'very heavy' strikes and declarations that the war is over, while also accusing Tehran of stalling negotiations. The current statement adds another layer to his evolving rhetoric but introduces no new policy or operational change.
