President Donald Trump on Tuesday offered a much different explanation for how the United States and Israel opted to launch a surprise war with Iran, contending he pushed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into the conflict.
The U.S. commander in chief offered a brief update on the war’s status, telling reporters in the Oval Office that the American-Israeli side has been “doing very well.”
“They have no air detection, that’s been knocked out,” Trump said of the Iranian government and military. “Their radar has been knocked out, and just about everything’s been knocked out. So we’ll see how we do.”
