Trump called Iran responsible for starting the conflict with the United States "We did not start a war with Iran. Iran started a war with us," the US president said Monday at a campaign rally in Mississippi. The American leader repeated again the statement that Tehran is only two weeks away from developing a nuclear missile. "I don't think we had a choice. They were two weeks away from building a nuclear missile. They are considered the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world," Trump said. He also called the ceasefire agreement reached earlier with Iran a "waste of time". Photo: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images.
