Referring to the conflicts with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the establishment of a period of cessation in the conflicts, Donald Trump said at an election rally in Mississippi: "We established a small ceasefire, which I never liked very much and I thought it was a waste of time." A waste of time." Pointing out that "we did not start the war with Iran, but Iran started the war with us", he emphasized: "Iran has been carrying out these actions against us for years; they produce advanced weapons and are very intelligent people, but we dealt them a heavy blow. Trump also pointed to the Iranian government's missile power, adding: "They had a missile that could reach Europe, and if no action was taken, they would target our cities as well; they beat San Diego and Los Angeles; therefore, somebody had to get to work and that work had to be done quickly."
