Donald Trump said Iran would take 20 to 25 years to recover even if the US left now, adding American forces are “not leaving right now”. He said last year’s strikes stopped Iran getting a nuclear weapon and claimed Israel would not exist without them. Trump also warned the US would strike any site Iran uses for nuclear work.
