TRUMP: I ACTED BEFORE IRAN
US President Donald Trump said the following in a statement at the White House before his meeting with German Chancellor Merz: "I thought Iran would make the first attack, so I acted. If we hadn't attacked, they would have attacked us. Iran is attacking countries that have nothing to do with the events. They are only hitting civilian settlements. Iran has no air defense system left.
The worst-case scenario is that worse people come to power in Iran. Most of the names we have in mind for Iran's leadership are dead. The son of the deposed Iranian Shah, Reza Pahlavi, is not among the names we are considering. We would prefer a name from within the country for Iran's leadership."
