US President Donald Trump has claimed that Israel and the wider Middle East would not exist today if his administration had failed to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said his role in stopping Tehran’s nuclear ambitions was widely known but rarely acknowledged. “Israel and, in fact, the entire Middle East, WOULD NOT EXIST TODAY if I did not stop Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon,” he wrote. The statement comes as Trump continues to present preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons as a central objective of his administration’s policy towards Tehran.
