Trump: The Iran war is “one of our greatest achievements” for this reason

On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump described the war that the United States is waging against Iran as “one of the greatest achievements we have achieved,” even though it is not very popular inside the country, and many Republican Party candidates are calling for an end to this war. Asked if he regretted starting this war, Trump told reporters: “No, I think it's one of the greatest accomplishments; I think it's one of the greatest things we've done.”

He added: "We prevented Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon. It is one of the best things we have accomplished," noting that his decision to attack Iran in February "required a great deal of courage." But about 8 months after the outbreak of the war, Trump has low ratings. A new poll conducted by the Ofoq News network and published on Wednesday showed that only 30% of Americans support his style of managing foreign affairs.

Ofok News spoke with many voters - including those who attended Trump's campaign rallies - who indicated that the impact of the conflict on fuel prices and the cost of living is a major issue in the upcoming elections. At the same time, some Republicans - facing tough election races this fall - have begun to distance themselves from the president's position on this war.
