Trump voices support for future Israeli attacks on Iran if deal is not reached

Описание: US President Donald Trump said that if Iran continued to develop its nuclear weapons programme then he would support an Israeli attack on Iran “immediately”.

Speaking at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday, Trump said that he would prefer to make a deal with Iran, but if they could not come to an agreement then he would be prepared to support Israel by force.

He also declined to answer a question on whether or not he would support the overthrow of the Iranian government.
