Former President Trump said Friday that Israel should attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, while mocking President Biden’s response earlier this week.
Speaking at a campaign event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, when Biden was asked about Israel attacking Iran, the president replied, “‘Unless they hit the nuclear stuff.’ Shouldn’t you?
Trump said nuclear proliferation is “the biggest risk we have.”

The former president said that during his presidency he “rebuilt the entire military, jets, and I built it, including nuclear power.” “I hated building nuclear power, but I knew firsthand the power of that stuff, and I’ll tell you what: We must be absolutely prepared. We must be absolutely prepared.”
When Biden was asked about Israel and Iran, he said: “His answer should have been ‘strike nuclear first, worry about the rest later.’
Trump made similar comments in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, calling reporter Bill Melugin Biden’s response to Israel’s attack on Iran “the worst thing I’ve ever heard. That’s the biggest risk we have. The biggest risk we have is nuclear power.”

He continued, “That means making a statement that says, ‘Please leave their nuclear power.’
Former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Kash Patel, who served under Trump, said this week:Iran initiated A war within Israel, so Israelis who are defending themselves and our hostages, to say that they should not attack bases in Iran that could kill them – especially when you give $7 billion to Iran as a commander and then allow them to buy nuclear stuff is great politics.

“The answer is no,” Biden told reporters at Joint Base Andrews following Iran’s attack on Israel on Tuesday, adding that Israel could be targeting the country’s nuclear program.
