Trump: Israel will ‘be the leader’ of strike on Iran if nuclear talks fail
Israel will “lead” a military strike along with the US against Iran if nuclear talks don’t succeed, US President Donald Trump says.
Asked whether he would use military means against Iran if the latter doesn’t agree to a nuclear deal, Trump responds: “If it requires military, we’re going to have military.”
“Israel will obviously be very much involved in that — it’ll be the leader of that,” he tells reporters in the Oval Office, in what appears to be the first time he’s explicitly threatened an Iranian strike by Israel, let alone one led by the Jewish state.
