US President Biden urges Israel to be cautious with regard to Iran. Republican presidential candidate Trump sees it differently: Israel should directly target the greatest threat.
Unlike US President Joe Biden, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has spoken out in favor of an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Referring to a statement by Biden about a possible Israeli response to the recent Iranian missile attack, Trump said: “His answer should have been: Target the nuclear facilities first and worry about the rest later,” the Republican said at a campaign rally in Fayetteville US state of North Carolina.
The Democrat Biden spoke out against a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities in response to a question from a reporter this week. He had previously urged Israel to carefully consider its response to the Iranian missile attack.
Trump: Must be prepared
At the campaign event, Trump emphasized that nuclear weapons were the greatest risk of all. You have to be prepared. “We must be fully prepared.”
On Tuesday, the Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s elite force, fired around 200 rockets at Israel. The attack came after a series of targeted killings by Israel targeting key players in Iran’s network of non-state allies, including senior Revolutionary Guard commanders.
