US President Donald Trump has said that the US Air Force attack on Iran's nuclear facilities was one of the reasons for the agreement between Israel and Hamas.
"Well, Iran was about one month, maybe two months, away from having a nuclear weapon, and if I allowed that to happen, this deal would not have been possible. Or if it was, it would have a tremendous cloud over it," Trump said in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday.
Iran now approves of the Israel-Hamas agreement, the US president said, adding that if Iran's nuclear program had not been destroyed, it would have been a destabilizing factor in the region.
