Trump Claims Full Responsibility for Iran War Decision
President Trump says he alone decided to go to war with Iran, not Israel. As the conflict struggles to gain public backing amid an energy crisis, the administration faces pressure to justify the escalating military actions.
President Trump has claimed that the decision to go to war with Iran was his own, suggesting that Israel did not pressure or manipulate him into the conflict. The president's remarks come as the ongoing military struggle fails to garner widespread public support, particularly as it contributes to an escalating energy crisis.
In a recent interview, Trump stated: "Israel never talked me into the war with Iran. That was my own decision." This declaration appears to contradict previous reports and speculation that Israel had been aggressively lobbying the U.S. to take action against its regional rival.
The president's comments highlight the mounting challenges the administration faces in justifying the conflict to the American people. As energy prices continue to surge and the geopolitical tensions show no signs of easing, the public has grown increasingly skeptical of the government's rationale for the military engagement.
