Trump: If I were president nobody would be talking about Iran attacking Israel
Republican Democratic nominee Donald Trump says “I’m hearing there’s going to be an attack tonight by Iran on Israel. They’re gonna be attacked tonight.”
Trump speaks at an election event, clips of which are shared online.
Noting he is hearing news reports on the matter and has no “top secret information” on an imminent attack, he adds: “If I were president, nobody would even be talking about that word because it wouldn’t happen, 100%.”
