Referring to the conflicts with the Islamic Republic of Iran and establishing a period of cessation in the conflicts, Donald Trump said at an election rally in the state of Mississippi: "We had a little ceasefire, which I never really liked and I thought it was kind of a waste of time. "Of course you want to listen to the experts, but we called a small truce to get some ships in because we wanted to do a favor, but for me it was just 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."
