Former President Donald Trump strongly criticized the recent Iranian attack on Israel, asserting that such an incident would not have occurred under his administration. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the severity of the situation, stating, “ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK! This should never have been allowed to happen – This would NEVER have happened if I were President!”
Trump’s comments came in the wake of the attack that took place on a Saturday night, marking his first public reaction to the news. He used the opportunity to critique President Joe Biden’s handling of the situation, suggesting that Biden’s administration was less effective in preventing such international conflicts.
Additionally, Trump claimed that President Biden had recorded a response to the Iranian attack but decided against releasing it after seeing Trump’s posts on social media. According to Trump, Biden’s team chose to delay the broadcast, planning a live address instead. Trump also mentioned that Biden had been at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, enjoying a beach weekend, before being called back to the White House in response to the crisis.
This incident has sparked a flurry of discussions about U.S. foreign policy under different administrations and the implications for regional stability in the Middle East. Trump’s remarks underline his ongoing critique of the Biden administration’s foreign policy and national security strategies.
