WASHINGTON (VINnews) – — Donald Trump said Monday that a U.S. strike on Iran prevented the destruction of Israel, arguing the attack changed the course of the conflict.

Speaking at a conference hosted by the Congressional Institute, Trump said a U.S. operation involving Northrop B-2 Spirit stealth bombers targeted Iranian capabilities. “If we didn’t do that B-2 attack, Israel would have been wiped out,” he said.
Trump also said the United States would continue military operations until Iran is “totally and decisively defeated,” while suggesting the war could end soon.
In a separate interview with CBS News, Trump said the conflict was progressing faster than initially expected and claimed Iran’s military infrastructure had been significantly weakened.

One heck of an unusual good sheliach. Thank you Hashem for sending us the Orange Man to help us.
With respect, neither anyone here nor I — and most likely not even President Trump — can know that with certainty.
Statements like “Israel would have been wiped out” are political rhetoric, not verifiable analysis. Israel has one of the most advanced militaries in the world, including layered missile defense systems and strategic deterrence.
It is reasonable to say that U.S. support strengthens Israel’s position. But claiming that Israel would have been “wiped out” without a specific strike is speculation, not a demonstrable fact.
In serious discussions about war and security, it is better to separate what we know, what we estimate, and what is simply political messaging.
Hashem watches over Eretz Yisroel and protects it – with or without Trump. It would not have been ‘wiped out’- not possible BH.
What a load of horse hockey.
