President Donald Trump responded to recent allegations that Iran had concealed uranium, dismissing the claims as part of a broader narrative aimed at undermining U.S. foreign policy. During an interview with financial journalist Maria Bartiromo on ‘Sunday Morning Futures,’ the president asserted that the U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was a proportionate response to Tehran’s nuclear development activities.
Trump emphasized that the administration had no choice but to act in the interest of national security, stating, ‘We cannot allow hostile nations to acquire nuclear weapons.’ The president’s remarks reflect a consistent approach to Iran policy, focusing on deterrence and the prevention of nuclear proliferation. Bartiromo pressed Trump on the potential consequences of the strike, but the president maintained that the decision was driven by strategic necessity rather than political considerations.
The interview took place amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with the strike marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. While Trump did not elaborate on the specifics of the strike, he reiterated the administration’s commitment to protecting American interests abroad. The comments were met with mixed reactions from experts, with some praising the firm stance and others raising concerns about the long-term implications of such actions.
