Former President Donald Trump called on Israel to launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, sharply criticizing President Joe Biden for advising Israel to act with caution.
“I listened to Biden yesterday… they asked him, what do you think about Iran, would you hit Iran and he goes ‘as long as they don’t hit the nuclear stuff,’” Trump said Friday. “That’s the thing you want to hit, right?”
Continuing his point, Trump added, “I think he’s got that one wrong, isn’t that the one you’re supposed to hit? It’s the biggest risk we have, nuclear weapons.”
Trump made these comments during a question-and-answer session with voters in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he has been campaigning and helping with relief efforts following the damage caused by Hurricane Helene.
Earlier this week, Iran fired 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. Most of the missiles were intercepted midair by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system, and the only fatality was a Palestinian man in the West Bank, who was killed when the debris of an intercepted missile fell on him.
In response, Israel has promised to retaliate, receiving President Biden’s approval — but with the typical conditions of restraint from the Biden-Harris administration. Biden specifically cautioned Israel against striking Iran’s nuclear assets.
“The answer is no,” Biden firmly stated on Wednesday. “We’ll be discussing with the Israelis what they are going to do.”
