US President Donald Trump has said he postponed major new strikes on Iran following requests from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf allies, including Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE and Bahrain.
However, Trump claimed he could destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure, bridges and manufacturing facilities within three days.
Speaking to US journalist Stephen A. Smith at the White House on Thursday, Trump said he could end the war immediately but was maintaining pressure on Iran at the request of regional allies.
Asked whether he would have launched further attacks without their requests, Trump replied, “Yes, I would.”
He also acknowledged that rising fuel prices caused by the war had contributed to the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections, while defending his decision to attack Iran.
