"Look, for 47 years, no president was willing to do what I'm doing, he said. And they should have done it a long time ago. It would have been a lot easier. There's no president that wanted to do it. And yet every president knew. I've spoken to a certain president, who I like, actually a past president—former president, Trump added. He said, I wish I did it. I wish I did."
"The strikes against Iran, jointly conducted by the U.S. and Israel, have been controversial. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in one of the strikes and another hit an elementary school, killing at least 175 people, mostly young girls who were students there. Trump has denied responsibility but media reports have shown it was a Tomahawk missile that hit the school, a weapon that only the U.S. has, not Iran or Israel."
President Trump stated during a Kennedy Center board meeting that he had spoken with a former president who expressed regret about not conducting military strikes against Iran. Trump claimed this unnamed president said, 'I wish I did it.' However, representatives for all living former presidents subsequently denied any such conversation took place. The U.S. and Israeli military strikes killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and struck an elementary school, killing at least 175 people, mostly young girls. Trump denied responsibility despite media reports indicating a U.S. Tomahawk missile caused the school strike. The operations triggered Iranian counterstrikes and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil and gas prices to spike.
