Trump accused Iran of starting the conflict between Washington and Tehran at a campaign rally in Mississippi, the American leader said: "We did not start a war with Iran. Iran started a war with us." According to him, Tehran was two weeks away from creating a nuclear missile; Iran "is considered the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world." Trump also called the cease-fire agreement reached earlier with Iran a "waste of time." According to the US president, "he never liked the little truce that was signed."
