Trump defends Iran strikes, says nuclear-armed Iran would be an ‘intolerable threat’

Описание: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (March 2) he ordered the attack on Iran to thwart its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, vowing to pursue the war for as long as necessary.

He said, without providing evidence, the threat from Iran had been imminent when he made the decision to order the strikes. The attacks have killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sunk Iranian warships and hit more than 1,000 targets so far.

"This was our last best chance to strike ... and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister regime," he said at an event in the White House East Room.
