Donald Trump Iran nuclear weapons

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Israel and the wider Middle East would not exist today without his administration's military action against Iran's nuclear programme. His remarks, made on Friday, November 6, come amid renewed uncertainty over whether Washington could launch additional strikes against Tehran. Trump Credits US Military Action for Israel's Survival In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that his intervention had prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and protected Israel from potential destruction. The American president has repeatedly made similar statements while defending his administration's military operations against Iran. During a June appearance at the White House, he argued that an Iranian nuclear weapon would have threatened the survival of Israel and regional security. Trump has maintained that preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons was a central justification for American military intervention. However, his assertion that Israel would otherwise have been destroyed remains an unverified hypothetical claim. Trump Announces Plans to End US Military Aid to Israel The latest remarks follow Trump's announcement that American military assistance to Israel would end this year, arguing that the country no longer requires such support. Under an existing ten-year agreement beginning in 2018, Washington committed approximately $3.8 billion annually in military assistance to Israel. Trump indicated that Israel could continue purchasing American defence equipment despite the proposed change in financial assistance. US Considers Further Military Strikes Against Iran Trump has delivered varying signals about further military operations against Iran following the November 2026 US midterm elections. Earlier this week, he indicated that no immediate additional strikes were planned, although American forces remained prepared for military action. On Thursday, Trump again raised the possibility of renewed operations, suggesting that Washington could take further action if necessary. The uncertainty comes as diplomatic efforts continue over Iran's nuclear programme, with Tehran and Washington remaining divided over sanctions relief and conditions for negotiations.
