Trump calls Iran attacks 'the best thing we've ever done'

US President Donald Trump said of the attacks on Iran: "This will go down in history as one of the best things we ever did." he said.

On his way back to the White House from Florida, where he spent the weekend, Trump made a statement to the press before boarding the plane in West Palm Beach.

Arguing that they won the war in Iran, Trump said, "I can tell you this, this will go down in history as one of the best things we ever did. Because if they had a nuclear weapon, they would have blown up the world. Why? Because they are crazy." he said.

Trump said, "The question about Iran is whether we close this issue now or later. We can wait. Some of its neighbors would prefer to keep the situation as it is." he said.

Claiming that "they did not lose any soldiers" during the attacks on Iran, Trump cited the Vietnam War, which lasted for years, as an example, and said that there were thousands of casualties there.

Trump said, "I can go blow them up now. The problem with that is you can never rebuild them later. If I blow up bridges and power plants, it's going to take a very long time to rebuild them. They have big bridges." he said.

JD VANCE'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE MID-WID ELECTIONS

Asked whether Vice President J.D. Vance's statement of attacks on Iran as one of the reasons for losing the November 3 midterm elections affected his relationship with Trump, Trump said, "Many people did not like J.D. Vance's comments about the midterm elections, but I am not one of them." he replied.

Trump said, "He was right except for one thing. I think he should have said something else that is very important. If you had the chance (to attack Iran) again, would you do the same thing again? The answer is yes." he said.

In his post on his social media account after the November 3 elections, US Vice President JD Vance attributed the reason for the Republican Party's loss in the Congressional midterm elections to the war with Iran and relations with Israel.
