“This war definitely could have been avoided and would not have happened if I had been president,” Trump wrote in Truth Social.
Earlier, Iran launched a missile attack against Israel. According to the Israeli publication The Jerusalem Post, Iran launched about 500 missiles in the direction of Israel. Tehran considers its attack a legitimate response to a violation of the country’s sovereignty, Iran’s permanent mission to the UN said. Iran also threatened Israel with “crushing strikes” if it responded to the missile attack.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported that a missile attack on Tuesday night managed to hit Israeli gas platforms in the Mediterranean Sea and a military base. The Israeli side has not yet commented on these accusations.
At the same time, the country does not expect a second wave of attacks from Iran. Residents can leave the shelters, an army spokesman said. Emergency officials said there were no casualties from the rocket attack, other than minor injuries caused by debris.
Previously, current US President Joe Biden ordered US troops to neutralize all missiles heading from Iran towards Israel.
Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and similar signals were heard in Jerusalem and the central Israeli city of Lod. According to reports from the ground, dozens of explosions were heard in the cities.
