Former President Donald Trump appeared on Fox News and revealed that Iran called him before launching strikes in Iraq out of respect for his leadership.
He explained that Iran called him in response to the U.S. killing General Qassem Soleimani to inform that they HAD to strike back, but that they would intentionally miss their targets and Americans would not be hit.
“I had Iran in check. Do you know, we hit them very hard for something that they did, and they had to hit back, they feel they have to do that and I understand that,” he said on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures. “Do you know, they called me to tell me ‘We’re going to hit a certain location but we’re not gonna hit it, it’s gonna be outside of the perimeter’.
Donald Trump says that Iran called him before launching strikes in Iraq in response to the killing of Solemani to let him know that Americans were not going to be hit and they would intentionally miss their targets: “That was respect ”

Trump continued, “They let us know. And we had 16 missiles that went off. And we knew they weren’t going to hit. And now I reveal it – so they aimed those missiles and they said ‘please don’t attack us, we’re not going to hit you.’ That was respect, we had respect.”
He is referring to the death of Soleimani, who was the second most powerful man in Iran at the time. The terrorist was killed in Iraq in a US drone strike at a convoy at Baghdad airport in 2020.
Trump was respected and feared by all the leaders of the world and that was a GOOD thing.
We need to put this man back in power ASAP.

Trump continued, “When we took out Soleimani, you know Israel was supposed to do it with us. Two days before the take-out they said ‘We can’t do it. We can’t do it.’ I said ‘What?’ ‘We can’t do it.’”
He added, “Then I had a certain general, who’s great, I said, ‘So general, do we do it ourselves?’ He said ‘We can, sir, it’s up to you.’ I said ‘We’ll do it.’ “But Israel was a part of it. You know, Bibi was a big part of it. And we had everything planned, everything. Because what he did was terrible. What he did to us was terrible. Killed so many of our soldiers. Killed so many people.”
Now, Biden is the one who warns the terrorists so they can vacate the targets.
Trump had respect & did not get us into any fights as Biden is doing. Also, the border was
under control which Biden has not done though he has the authority.
Don’t forget creepyjoe also armed the terrorists with Billions of $$$ of abandoned equipment on their doorstep, and had our soldiers killed by his incompetence.
Fine example of “Peace through strength” even though missiles were going off! So Peace through strength does not only mean “talk” its also means RESPECT! Something Sleep Joe Biden has not been able to attain in all the 55 years he has been in office! A complete failure domestic and foreign! Really, Biden with a declining mental capacity cannot be tried for his poor anti-American decisions in court BUT can still run a Country! Baloney! The Radical elite socialist democrats house of cards is crumpling, as it should, right in front of our eyes. Hallelujah !!
