Trump claims regional allies urged restraint as he boasts he can destroy Iran in three days US President Donald Trump revealed during an interview with Stephen Smith on Direct Fire on Thursday that regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, have urged Washington to adopt a restrained approach and avoid military escalation against Iran. "If I want to take them out, one day their energy is gone, one day their bridges are gone, and one day their manufacturing capacity is gone, it will only take me three days," Trump said. The comments follow Washington's decision to maintain its naval blockade and economic pressure in the Persian Gulf, even as regional players navigate ongoing retaliatory strikes and maritime disruptions.
