During his election rally in North Carolina, the US President Donald Trump called for military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities on October 4 in response to recent ballistic attacks by this country on October 4. Trump believes that such a reaction is necessary to stop the nuclear program of Iran, which, he said, poses the greatest threat to the safety of the world.
"First, we will hit nuclear weapons and then take care of another," Trump stressed, emphasizing that this strategy should be a key response to Iran's actions. He believes that decisive action against Iran's nuclear program is a priority to ensure security not only the US but the world.
Different approaches to solving the Iranian crisis
Trump's statement was a direct criticism of the current US President Joe Biden, who recently publicly refused to support hostilities against Iran. During the Biden press conference, when he was asked if he would support the strokes of Iran's nuclear objects, he answered negatively. Trump, in turn, criticized this position, believing that Baiden's passivity would only make the situation worse.
"When he was asked about Iran, his answer should be clear: to start with a blow to Iran's nuclear weapons," Trump added. He is convinced that such an action could prevent further escalation and development of nuclear threat.
Possible consequences for elections and international policy
Exacerbation in the Middle East, especially with regard to Iran, can significantly affect the US presidential election. According to Financial Times, the international tension associated with the Iran nuclear program and relations with the Middle East is an important factor for voters and can identify the election campaign of both Trump and its opponents.
This is not the first time Trump is in favor of decisive action against Iran. However, his current statement about the need for military blows to nuclear objects indicates his willingness to be stiffer foreign policy if he returns to the White House.
