During a campaign rally, Donald Trump defended past military actions against Iran, asserting they were necessary to prevent the nation from developing nuclear weapons. He told supporters that these strikes crippled Iran's nuclear capabilities and that the primary goal was to ensure Iran could not acquire such arms due to the perceived risk of their use. Trump also claimed that the conflict's swift conclusion would lead to lower energy prices for Americans. Meanwhile, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister called for an end to hostilities across all fronts to achieve regional peace, accusing the U.S. and Israel of violating a memorandum and stating Iran was prepared to address nuclear concerns.
