Trump expressed willingness to support possible new Israeli strikes on Iran

The United States will support possible Israeli strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran if Tehran attempts to continue developing its missile and nuclear programs. This was announced on Monday, December 29, by the head of the White House, Donald Trump.

"If they (Iran. — Ed.) They will continue with missiles, yes. With nuclear [programs] -- quickly. <...> Yes, absolutely. And secondly, we will do it immediately," he said.

Thus, the American president answered a question from one of the journalists during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The event was held in Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump also added that if Iran tries to "strengthen itself" on this issue, the American and Israeli countries "will have to knock it down." According to him, the United States and Israel, working together, have already achieved "incredible victories."
