Former President Donald Trump gave an interview where he stated that if he were still in office, he would support Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. Trump argued that the current administration under President Biden is not taking strong enough action against what he views as threats from Iran.
Regarding the context, it’s important to note that Iran’s nuclear program has been a subject of international dispute for years. The country claims it is pursuing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, but other nations, including the US and Israel, have expressed concerns about the potential for nuclear weapon development. As part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed in 2015, Iran agreed to limit its nuclear activities in exchange for relief from economic sanctions. However, Trump’s administration withdrew from the deal in 2018 and resumed sanctions.
Biden’s administration has expressed willingness to negotiate a return to the JCPOA or a new deal, but progress has been slow and the situation remains complex.
