U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News that Iran cannot be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon, stressing that it “will not have one.”
Trump said an Iranian nuclear weapon would lead to the near disappearance of the Middle East, arguing that Israel would certainly be wiped out and that the United States, Europe or elsewhere could become the next target.

He said the United States had to intervene in the Middle East to prevent Iran from using a nuclear weapon against Israel and other countries in the region, and potentially against the United States itself.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said that once the war was won, the United States would have near-total control of the waterway. He added that Iran could remain a source of disruption, but said the United States controlled the strait and had cleared all mines from it with very limited assistance from other countries.
Trump also said the United States could not continue supporting countries that did not stand with it, noting that Washington spends billions of dollars assisting NATO and countries including South Korea, but that they declined to provide support when the United States requested it.
“Iran has become a failed state because of the blockade of its ports and U.S. financial pressure,” Trump said.
He also said Iran’s Khark Island was being completely destroyed and reduced to rubble.
