U.S. Pres. Donald Trump Speaks on Attacks vs. Iran
DONALD TRUMP – The United States President claimed that stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and destroying the world is more important.
Not only the countries involved were affected by the escalating tension in the Middle East but as well as several other nations including the Philippines. PH is currently one of the nations now that are facing higher costs of oil.
U.S. and Israel had a joint airstrike against Iran which led to the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is succeeded by his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, in the post. Based on a report on BBC News, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed that the new Supreme Leader is allegedly “wounded” and “likely disfigured”.
According to U.S. Pres. Donald Trump, the alleged move was in the pursuit to stop Iran from supposedly destroying the world as well as in response to its opposition on the interest of America.
Several countries including the Philippines are faced with high oil prices now. Amid the global concern on the impact of the escalating tension in the Middle East, Trump previously claimed that the high costs of oil will allegedly be “short-term”.
United States Pres. Donald Trump also previously assured that the war will be ended soon. According to him, Iran will allegedly be hit much harder if it will disrupt the global oil flow.
“I will not allow a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and attempt to stop the globe’s oil supply. And if Iran does anything to do that, they’ll get hit at a much, much harder level,” Trump said.
However, Iran was quick to respond that it will continue to launch missile attacks as long as there is a need. After having been hit by airstrike that killed its Supreme Leader, the country also said that negotiations with U.S. is no longer on their agenda now.
Recently, U.S. Pres. Donald Trump spoke anew on Iran. The U.S. President expressed no regrets on the country’s joint attack against Iran saying it is allegedly for a much bigger purpose, the World.
Trump stressed that he is more interested in stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and destroying the world than the high costs of oil. He admitted that his country makes lots of money from oil.
“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stopping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World,” the United States President said in his Tweet.
Amid the ongoing tension in the Middle East, Iran told the world to prepare for a $200 per barrel oil.
