Donald Trump Addresses The Nation: ’Iran Appears To Be Standing Down’

This Wednesday, President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Grand Foyer at White House just hours after Iran blasted more than a dozen rockets down on airbases in Iraq housing U.S. troops, killing none. Iranians said the attack was a move in response to the U.S. airstrike last week that killed top general and Tehran’s most powerful leaders, Qasem Soleimani.

Now, Trump just briefly spoke about the latest attack on the U.S. and informed viewers that no Americans were injured in Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes. Trump said,

“I’m pleased to inform you, the American people should be extremely grateful and happy. No Americans were harmed by the attack by the Iranian regime.”

Trump also maintained that he made the right decision to order the attack that ultimately killed Soleimani. While doing that, he also signaled a de-escalation of tension by claiming “Iran appears to be standing down.” He even announced that he would ask NATO “to become much more involved in the Middle East process.”

During his speech, Trump also vowed that on his watch, Iran would never develop a nuclear weapon.
