During his Thursday evening interview with Sean Hannity, President Donald Trump admitted that the U.S. went to war with Iran for Israel, as well as for the Gulf state allies.

“We’re doing it to help Israel, and to help Saudi Arabia, and to help Qatar and UAE, and you know, Kuwait, and other countries, Bahrain,” Trump said.

TRUMP ADMITS WAR ON IRAN IS NOT FOR AMERICA

The State Department has already confirmed the U.S. went to war for Israel.

“…the United States decided to act against the regime in collective self-defense of Israel,” the State Department said April 21.

Trump also discussed the uranium snatch-and-grab suicide mission with Hannity, with conflicting statements.

“We were thinking about doing it early on,” the President said of the daring mission to capture what he refers to as the “dust”. “No I don’t think it’s necessary except from a public relations standpoint.”

“I’m the one who said we’re going to get it, and we’re going to get it,” he then told Hannity.

On March 4 Trump acknowledged the fact that America struck Iran to defend Israel.

“And I think if we didn’t do it first they would have done it to Israel,” Trump said, referring the U.S. military strikes against Iran.

Trump also countered a statement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio about which country made the decision to attack Iran, the U.S. or Israel.

Trump was asked by a reporter on March 3 “Did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes against Iran? Did Netanyahu pull the United States into this war?”

“No. I might have forced their hand,” the President said.

A day earlier Rubio had a different story behind the war – that Israel made the decision to attack Iran, and that the U.S. was dragged in after it.

“The President made the very wise decision—we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties,” Rubio said March 2.

Yes, because outside of Iran, the rest of the Arab world is ready to co-exist with Israel.

[Williams]

He admitted no such things as stated in this article.

[Kleon]

It’s the only reason that makes sense, and I hope he finishes the job.

[Vermont Lt]

Well if Alex Jones says it, it must be true.

[wny]

Constantly threatening without following thru makes you look weak and foolish.

Finish them.

[Vendome]

FU Alex....

[Salman]

Israel getting nuked would not be good for America.

But it might be good for the Democrats.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Because obviously if Iran had a nuke they would destroy Israel NO DUH, and they would destroy the ENTIRE Middle East then the US

[central_va]

Two things can be true at the same time. No nukes and help Israel and gulf states.

[reasonisfaith]

Your response to what Trump is doing in Iran is, of course, an IQ test.

[Uncle Miltie]

Here we go again.

Fetch the flypaper.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Well if Alex Jones says it, it must be true.

There is a video in the article of Trump saying it, but I understand that you are one of those Einsteins who believes everything the anti-American propaganda press says about Alex Jones.

[jacknhoo]

The actual wording:

“As the United States has explained in multiple letters to the U.N. Security Council, including most recently on March 10, the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally, as well as in the exercise of the United States’ own inherent right of self-defense.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Two things can be true at the same time. No nukes and help Israel and gulf states.

Three things can be true as well.

Before Israel dragged us into the war the globalists were on the run.

Now they are as happy as clams at high tide.

Larry Fink and Bill Gates have never been so happy and relieved.

[JimRed]

Helping those other countries avoid the consequences of a nuclear armed Iran under the mad Mullahs is a net benefit to the United States, so it is indeed for America!

[central_va]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

[faithhopecharity]

good! may PDJT be blessed for having a moral conscience while defending American vital interests

[mac_truck]

Israel getting nuked would not be good for America

Is that because of the Sampson Option?

[Sequoyah101]

Sounds to me like he’s lost the program of why we ever went to war in the first place. I thought it was all about the nukes. The same nukes that not two weeks ago he said were probably destroyed an inaccessible and that we had 24 seven coverage of and if they started to dig them up, we could stop them immediately.

Which is it? What’s today’s reason for starting a new round of inflation and putting the world economy in turmoil? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Less than 18 months ago, we had Bright and hopeful prospects looking forward to having done what we voted for. We also felt like we had two good candidates that could probably get elected in 28 based on making America great again. In just 11 weeks those good prospects have probably been wrecked. If they aren’t, it will be by God‘s mercy and not by Trump‘s plan. Trump‘s Folly has put us in the ditch.
