Donald Trump has tried to dust off his “Peace President” credentials as his latest war rages on in the Middle East.
“There’s great evil taking place in Iran, as you know, and our military has been unbelievable. We’re knocking the hell out of them,” the president told local Cincinnati outlet WKRC Local 12 Wednesday. “There has never been a better year for a president, first year, than what we had. That includes the stoppage of eight wars, with ninth to come.”
Trump launched “major combat operations” against Iran on Feb. 28 with joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes. But he has struggled to stick to any clear rationale for the conflict, most recently claiming he is attacking the Iranian regime to protect U.S. military assets in the region from retaliatory strikes in the event Iran came under attack.
