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

Mar 3, 2026, 17:13 GMT+0

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.
