Donald Trump: We did not start the war with Iran. Iran started it.

The conflict between the USA and Israel against Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes targeting Iranian sites, resulting in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Donald Trump claimed that Iran initiated the war and reiterated that Iran was close to developing nuclear weapons. He criticized the ceasefire established on April 7, which he deemed a waste of time, and mentioned ongoing US airstrikes in response to Iranian attacks. Trump indicated that the US military was prepared for a significant operation against Iran, pending his orders, amid pressure from Israel.
