Trump claims Iran would have attacked US within a week, justifying Israel strike

US President Donald Trump stated Iran was prepared to attack the United States 'within a week' prior to the US-Israeli military action against Tehran. He asserted Iran possessed 'far exceeding expectations' missiles and planned to strike the Middle East and Israel, potentially using a nuclear weapon. Trump described the intervention as 'pre-emptive' due to an imminent nuclear threat but provided no evidence to substantiate his claims. The statement was made during a press briefing on Monday.
