Trump: We're Winning from Oil - Won't Let Iran Get Nukes

Donald Trump stated that the United States is the world's largest oil producer and benefits financially from rising energy prices. However, he emphasized that his primary concern is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, characterizing it as a “malevolent empire.” He warned that Iran's possession of nuclear weapons could lead to the destruction of the Middle East and the world. Trump stated that as president, preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is more important than the economic benefits from high oil prices. He expressed his determination to never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. The statement comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Iran threatening to attack US bases, as announced by Ayatollah Khamenei. Trump's position underscores his focus on national security and preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The statement by Trump reflects his policy during his previous term as president, where he imposed strict sanctions on Iran and withdrew from the international agreement on the Iranian nuclear program.
