Trump Claims He 'Saved the UK From a Nuclear Attack' with Iran War

Trump said U.S. strikes prevented Iran from reaching a nuclear weapon and warned the country could have threatened Europe.

  • President Donald Trump claimed he "saved the UK from a threat" by waging war against Iran to prevent a nuclear attack, arguing Iran's potential weapons posed greater risk to Europe than America.
  • American forces have "obliterated" three known nuclear sites to prevent Iran from obtaining weapons, with operations remaining focused on a location known as Pickaxe Mountain, according to Trump.
  • Washington maintains "great control" over the Strait of Hormuz while surveillance tracks "everybody that walks in and walks out" of key nuclear sites, Trump warned the U.S. remains ready to strike again.
  • Trump criticized former prime minister Sir Keir Starmer for refusing to assist in the conflict and disparaged London under Sadiq Khan, warning the UK faces "disaster" on immigration and energy policy.
  • Vice President Vance disputed the administration's war characterization at a White House briefing, even as Trump describes the engagement as essential to the Middle East military stand-off.
