Donald Trump believes if he were president that Iran would have never unleashed missile attacks on Israel and that the globe would not be ‘brink of World War III.’
The ex-president took to his Truth Social app Tuesday to decry the attack on Israel as it was being hit with a hellfire of roughly 200 Iranian missiles.
The Jewish Nation’s conflict with the Lebanon-based Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah has become increasingly dangerous over the past weeks as the two have exchanged attacks.
Rockets ignited the night sky and slammed into buildings as air sirens blared across the country just hours after the White House warned an attack was ‘imminent’.
‘Look at the missiles flying right now in the Middle East, look at what’s happening with Russia/Ukraine, look at Inflation destroying the World,’ Trump’s post began.
‘None of this happened while I was president!’

‘When I was President, Iran was in total check,’ Trump elaborated further in an official campaign statement. ‘They were starved for cash, fully contained, and desperate to make a deal. Kamala flooded them with American cash and, ever since, they’ve been exporting terror all over, and unraveling the Middle East.’
It continued: ‘Under ‘President Trump,’ we had no war in the Middle East, no war in Europe, and harmony in Asia, no inflation, no Afghanistan catastrophe.’
‘Now, war or the threat of war, is raging everywhere, and the two incompetents running this country are leading us to the brink of World War III.’

Trump’s campaign statement comes just after Iran unleashed a barrage of dozens of missiles into Israel – an act so awful that it requires the U.S. to strike the country’s oil refining capability, one GOP lawmaker has said.

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has called on President Joe Biden to ‘hit and hit hard’ Iran’s oil refining capabilities in response to its ballistic missile attack on Israel Tuesday.
‘This is a moment of choosing for the free world regarding Iran. The Ayatollah and Iranian regime are religious Nazis who want to destroy the state of Israel – their words, not mine,’ his statement began.
‘They want to purify Islam and attack the United States – again, their words, not mine.
‘This missile attack against Israel should be the breaking point and I would urge the Biden Administration to coordinate an overwhelming response with Israel, starting with Iran’s ability to refine oil.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the attack was in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon that killed several Hezbollah leaders.

President Biden recently authorized additional troops to head to the Middle East
Iran’s state TV claimed that 80% of their missiles launched at Israel hit their target. It’s unclear exactly what the targets were.
‘These oil refineries need to be hit and hit hard because that is the source of cash for the regime to perpetrate their terror,’ Graham continued.
‘My prayers are with the people of Israel, and may God continue to bless Israel,’ his statement continued.
Biden, for his part, released a statement to deter Iran from further action, saying consequences could come if so.
‘The United States is prepared to help Israel defend against these attacks, and protect American personnel in the region,’ the president said.
