'Hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later': Trump urges Israel to strike Iran
Trump's comments came in response to US President Joe Biden's earlier statements cautioning Israel against striking Iranian nuclear facilities.
Former president Donald Trump stated that Israel should target Iran's nuclear facilities while speaking at a campaign event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Friday.
Trump's comments came in response to US President Joe Biden's earlier statements cautioning Israel against striking Iranian nuclear facilities.
"I think [Biden] got that wrong. Isn't that what you're supposed to hit?" Trump asked.
"The answer should have been to hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later," the former president said.
Bidens earlier comments
Earlier, when asked if he supported an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, Biden, while speaking to reporters, said "No."
Biden said that his administration was in contact with the Israelis regarding the response and that he would soon speak to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
