Iran Press/America: "I don’t want to fight. But you do have situations like Iran, you can’t let them have nuclear weapons -- you just can’t let that happen," US President told Fox News host Steve Hilton in an interview on Sunday.
"I will not let Iran have nuclear weapons," Donald Trump claimed.
Trump, during the interview, continued opposing military intervention -- something that separated him from others in the 2016 campaign -- but indicated Iranian nuclear development would constitute an urgent exception.
But a few hours after the interview, US President in his twitter account said some contradictory remarks about war with Iran.
Previously, a report by The New York Times said that acting Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan last Thursday presented a plan to deploy 120,000 US troops to the Middle East if Iran starts to develop nuclear weapons, suggesting that Trump's National Security Adviser John Bolton was behind the creation of the plan. Trump denied the plan's existence on 14 May but didn't rule it out completely, noting that the numbers would be higher if such an approach were adopted.
The exit of the Iran's nuclear deal, restoration of previous sanctions and attachment of another list of them, including sanctioning the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, lifting oil and nuclear exemptions, charging and sending Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf to intensify tension in the region, are among measure the United States has taken. 101/201
