United States President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that neither Israel nor the entire Middle East would exist if he had not stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon. “Israel and, in fact, the entire Middle East, WOULD NOT EXIST TODAY if I did not stop Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Nobody wants to say that, but everybody knows it’s true!” he added. Negotiations between the US and Iran continue through Qatari mediators, who stated that a “perfect deal” will not be possible.
