‘The world is on fire, spiraling out of control’: Donald Trump
The Republican candidate and former US president has blamed the Biden administration for the escalation in parts of the Middle East, promising to restore peace in the region if elected.
“The World is on fire and spiraling out of control. We have no leadership, no one running the Country. We have a non-existent President in Joe Biden, and a completely absent Vice President, Kamala Harris,” Trump said in a statement.
He added that “Iran was in check” when he was president.
While Trump imposed heavy sanctions on Iran after nixing a landmark multilateral nuclear deal, Tehran continued to arm and fund its allies in the region during his tenure.
Biden continued to enforce Trump-era sanctions on Iran and added more penalties against Tehran in the past three years.
Trump reiterated without evidence that the Hamas-led October 7 attack against Israel would not have happened if he were in office.
