According to a video from 00:07:16 posted on Fox News, on Monday, President Trump stood in the Oval Office during the launch of the Trump Accounts program and used the moment to restate his firm position on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Speaking before business leaders, stock exchange officials, and members of his cabinet, the president said the United States would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon under any circumstance.
He tied the statement to broader comments about military strength, noting that the United States had built up its armed forces during his first term and was now using that strength for what he called a necessary purpose.
The president made the remarks while discussing recent military action against Iran, saying the country’s military capability had been severely weakened.
He connected the nuclear issue to safety for the region and for the world, arguing that allowing Iran to build a weapon would create unacceptable risk.
In his words, President Trump said, “In this case, Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. We can never let that happen.
“On Saturday, July 4th, our administration deposited one-time seed contributions of $1,000 each into the Trump accounts of over 500,000 American children.”
While the second half of his comment shifted to the Trump Accounts program itself, the president’s statement on Iran was delivered with clear emphasis, drawing attention from reporters in the room.
He added that the country had “eviscerated” Iran’s military capability, though he said the U.S. was not seeking regime change, calling the current situation in Iran a natural result of recent events rather than a stated American goal.
The president’s comments came during a wide-ranging press availability that also touched on the World Cup, the war in Ukraine, and the national economy….See More
