President Donald Trump said the US “have nothing to do with the attack on Iran” on Saturday night and warns Tehran not to involve his country in conflict, according to CNN.
“The United States has had nothing to do with the attack on Iran this evening. If we are attacked in any way by Iran, the entire force and power of the American army will deviate over you with an intensity that is not encountered so far. However, we can easily reach an agreement between Iran and Israel and we can end this bloody conflict,”
In the spring of this year, Donald Trump granted to the Supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 60 days to negotiate a nuclear agreement, warning that there will be consequences if an agreement will not be reached. At that time, Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to postpone the attack on Iran, to leave space for negotiations.
After Israel started attacking Iran on Friday, Trump told CNN: “I don't know if you know, but I gave them a 60-day warning, and today it is the 61st day.”
Iran accused US of involvement in Israel's attacks
Immediately after Israel's attacks on Iran on Friday, Tehran accused the US of being complicit in Israeli blows.
The ministry said that Israel's attacks could not have taken place without the help of the US, which said it was responsible for the consequences of Israel's actions.
“Such acts of aggression of the Zionist regime against Iran could not have taken place without the coordination and authorization from the United States. Consequently, the United States Government, as the main supporter of the regime, is also responsible for the dangerous consequences of this insane escalation,” Iran said on Friday.
The accusations were denied by Washington.
“This evening, Israel has taken unilateral measures against Iran. We are not involved in the blows against Iran and our main priority is to protect the American forces in the region,” said the Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Later, Donald Trump also said that the United States was not involved in the attack launched by Israel on Iran on Friday. The US president also said he hopes Iran will continue negotiations with the US to limit his nuclear program.
The conflict that started on Friday by the attack of Israel on Iran continues today. More information about its evolution, on the live hotnews.ro.
