PNN – Although Trump’s goal is to make himself a hero, especially in the face of Iran, the available facts, not only about the hellish night of Ain al-Assad, but also in events such as the downing of the ultra-modern “Global Hawk” drone or the seizure of an American ship by the IRGC Navy, clearly contradict these claims.
The former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, who has increased the number of his meetings and election statements in the last few months with the desire to retake the White House, in his last election speech made false claims about Iran’s missile attack on the American base in Ain al-Assad located in Iraq.
In these statements, he made the claim that; Before attacking Ain al-Assad, Tehran informed him about the main operation and its details, trying to induce that Iran asked him to allow symbolic attacks out of weakness and inability and only to protect its reputation.
He falsely stated that his mental-psychological conditions on the night of the missile attack on Ain al-Assad were completely calm and without nervous tension, and the reason for this is as follows: Because I was aware of Iran’s plan and I knew that they did not have the courage and strength to attack our interests, I was completely calm!!
