Israel’s Attack on Iran: “We Gave Them a Chance and They Didn’t Take It” – Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump, responding to Israel’s strikes on Iran, claimed that Iran was to blame for the escalation, arguing it had provoked the attack by defying a U.S. ultimatum during negotiations over its nuclear program.

“I think it’s been excellent. We gave them a chance and they didn’t take it … They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit. And there’s more to come. A lot more,” he was quoted as saying in a recorded interview by an ABC reporter on X.

“Two months ago I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to ‘make a deal’,” Trump added in a post on Truth Social. “They should have done it! Today is day 61 … Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!”

However, Washington stated that it was not involved in the operation.
