Trump states Israel did not pressure the US into war with Iran

President Trump posted on Truth Social denying that Israel pressured the US into launching Operation Epic Fury against Iran. Trump attributed his decision to the October 7 attacks and his longstanding view that Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons. The statement comes as a two-week US-Iran ceasefire nears its end and public opposition to the war remains high.
