Trump defends Iran war, says Tehran was ready to attack Israel


US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday Iran was "getting ready to attack Israel. They were getting ready to attack others. You're seeing that right now... So I think it was right about that we attacked first."
"Everybody got hit because they're evil and they're bad. It's a bad seed. And somebody had to do it, and it should have been done sometime during a 47-year period, because so much death has been caused by them," he told reporters.
