Trump Defends Iran War In Series Of Posts On Truth Social
The president started by saying Israel ‘never talked me into the war’
President Trump on Monday issued a series of posts on his Truth Social account defending his war with Iran and a potential diplomatic deal that he may reach with Tehran, though the state of the negotiations remains unclear.
The president started with a post where he said that the state of Israel didn’t talk him into launching the war, an apparent response to the reports and commentary about how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a major role in convincing Trump to launch the war.
Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that Trump launched the war after being briefed at the White House by Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, who made a series of claims that didn’t come true, including that Iran was ripe for regime change. But the report said that Trump was very hawkish on the issue and closely aligned with Netanyahu for many months, suggesting the US president didn’t need much convincing.
“Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did,” Trump said in his post. While he and Vice President JD Vance have framed the war as about preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb, there was no evidence either before the current war or the June 2025 war that Tehran was attempting to develop one.
Trump continued, “I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing – And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!”
