Trump delivers in Iran speech

Published



Outlining his new strategy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran, President Trump on Friday delivered a tough but proportionate appraisal of that nation’s challenge to America.

The president started by specifically outlining the Islamic Republic’s long and bloody history of support for terrorist groups. He mentioned Iran’s involvement in the Marine Barracks bombing of October 1983, the Khobar Towers bombing in 1996, Iranian support for al Qaeda following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and Iran’s killing of many hundreds of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump referenced the money Iran received as part of the Iran nuclear deal and asked, “I wonder where all that money went.”
