US President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that Iran was going to attack before he did, walking back top diplomat Marco Rubio’s assertion that Israel triggered the war.

“I think they were going to attack first, and I didn’t want that to happen. So, if anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand,” Trump told reporters as he met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House.
