Trump insists there’s no need for Iran deal after Hiroshima-like end to the ‘12 Day War’

TRUMP: ‘I DON’T CARE IF I HAVE AN AGREEMENT OR NOT’: In President Donald Trump’s view, what he has dubbed “The 12 Day War” not only “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program, it has obviated the need for any formal deal ensuring that Iran doesn’t reconstitute it facilities covertly.

At his NATO news conference Wednesday, Trump said America’s B-2 and submarine attack delivered a knockout blow comparable to the atomic bombs dropped on Japan that ended World War II. “It was so devastating,” Trump said. “If you look at Hiroshima or if you look at Nagasaki, you know, that ended a war too. This ended a war in a different way, but it was so devastating.”
