Former U.S. president Donald Trump said that the unfolding Iranian attacks on Israel are the result of the Biden administration exhibiting “weakness” on the world stage at his Pennsylvania rally Saturday night.
“Before going any further, I wanna say: God bless the people of Israel. They’re under attack right now, because we show great weakness,” Trump said.
The remarks come as Tehran has launched a barrage of missile and drone strikes toward Israel on Saturday in retaliation for a deadly attack on an Iranian embassy in Damascus earlier this month. Tehran has blamed the embassy attack—which killed a top Iranian commander—on Israel, which has yet to publicly claim responsibility for the assassination.
