Trump Opts for More Sanctions, Not Military Action, After Iran�s Attack
Less than 24 hours after Iran fired 15 missiles at U.S. military facilities in Iraq, President Donald Trump signaled a strong desire to deescalate by announcing new sanctions instead of a military response.
Trump also urged allies to put more pressure on Iran�s Islamist dictatorship.
�As long as I am president of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon,� Trump said to begin his formal remarks Wednesday in the Grand Foyer of the White House.
�No Americans were harmed in last night�s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties,� Trump said. �All of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases.�
�Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.�
No military retaliation doesn�t mean no retaliation, as the president said more U.S. sanctions are coming, without specifying.
�These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior,� Trump said.
