Trump Blames Obama, Biden For Iran War In Social Media Rant | EUROtoday

President Donald Trump tried to make his case for the U.S. strikes on Iran this week by deflecting blame again to his predecessors, former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Trump resorted to the now-familiar tactic on Monday afternoon, suggesting the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) curbing Iran’s nuclear improvement program and negotiated by the Obama administration had fostered circumstances that gave rise to the present battle.

“If I didn’t terminate Obama’s horrendous Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), Iran would have had a Nuclear Weapon three years ago,” he wrote Monday afternoon on his Truth Social platform. “That was the most dangerous transaction we have ever entered into, and had it been allowed to stand, the World would be an entirely different place right now. You can blame Barack Hussein Obama, and Sleepy Joe Biden. THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!”

“The Radical Left Democrats, a Party that has completely lost its way, are complaining bitterly about the very necessary and important attack, by the United States and Israel, on Iran,” he wrote. “What most people understand is that they are only complaining BECAUSE I DID IT and, if I didn’t do it, they would be screaming — Why didn’t ‘TRUMP’ attack Iran, he should do it, IMMEDIATELY? There’s nothing surprising about this!”

“The fact is, whatever I do, they will be on the opposite side,” he continued. “These people are SICK, CRAZY, and DEMENTED, but America, despite them all, is now BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.”

The JCPOA was extensively thought-about one in all Obama’s signature international coverage accomplishments. Trump, nevertheless, withdrew the U.S. from the deal throughout his first time period, calling it “horrible” and “one-sided.”

The president would later declare he’d been ready to succeed in a brand new settlement with Iranian officers forward of the 2020 election, which he misplaced to Biden, however supplied no specifics as to what such a deal would have entailed.

To the dismay of Democrats and a few Republicans, Trump and his aides have gone to lengths to justify Saturday’s joint navy strike with Israel on Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Fury. At least six American service members have been killed in Iran’s counterattacks up to now.

“We were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my opinion they were going to attack first,” Trump mentioned Tuesday, whereas assembly with German Chancellor Freidrich Merz. “I didn’t want that to happen.”

His feedback, nevertheless, battle with these of Pentagon officers with entry to intelligence experiences, who say they noticed no signal that Iran posed an imminent menace to the U.S.
