During his presidency, Donald Trump stated that he ensured Tehran did not have the funds to support its proxy groups, as he expressed in a conversation with Joe Rogan.
The Republican presidential candidate claimed that had he been in office during last year’s October 7 Hamas incursion into Israel, he would have prevented it. In a much-anticipated episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast aired on Saturday, Trump reflected on his time as US president from 2017 to 2021, asserting that he made decisions based on what he believed was right, rather than what was popular. He cited his dealings with Iran as a prime example of this approach.
Trump's unilateral withdrawal from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2018 was a significant part of his strategy, which involved Iran ceasing its military nuclear program in exchange for lifted international sanctions. Instead, Trump reintroduced a series of restrictions on Iran.
"Iran was broke. I told China if you buy [oil from Tehran] you cannot do business in the US under any circumstances. I was going... to go cold turkey with China. Some people think that would have been a good idea anyway,” he articulated.
He asserted that he also warned numerous other nations that purchasing even a “single barrel of oil” from Iran would result in exclusion from the US market. This pressure meant that “Iran was broke. They had no money for Hezbollah; they had no money for Hamas,” Trump remarked.
"We would have never had the attack on Israel at all” had he been president, he vigorously contended, in reference to the October 7, 2023 attack.
The Hamas assault on Israel resulted in around 1,200 fatalities and 250 hostages taken. In retaliation, Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza, which has reportedly caused at least 42,847 deaths and left over 100,544 injured, according to the enclave’s health officials.
In a significant escalation, the Israeli military disclosed early on Saturday, October 26, that it had struck approximately 20 military installations in Iran as retaliation for a missile attack on Israel earlier that month. While Iran acknowledged the bombardment, it described the damage as “limited.”
On October 1, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, a response to the eliminations of prominent Hamas, Hezbollah leaders, and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general.
