Trump Defends Military Action Against Iran at Daytona Beach Rally
During a rally in Daytona Beach, Trump claimed increased oil flow from Hormuz and defended military actions against Iran.
Daytona Beach, October 31 (Daily Kiran) : President Donald Trump addressed a rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, on October 31, defending his decision to engage militarily against Iran. He asserted that significantly more oil is now flowing from the Strait of Hormuz compared to seven months ago.
In his speech, Trump reiterated that the United States has effectively dismantled Iran’s naval and air capabilities. He stated, “We have completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity through ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’ and ‘Operation Epic Fury.’ We have defeated them on military, economic, and every other front. Now, we must ensure they never have nuclear weapons, and we will achieve this easily.”
Trump denied that the U.S. initiated the conflict, claiming, “This is a conflict they started many years ago,” adding that “Iran has been at war with America since 1979.”
He also dismissed criticisms regarding rising energy prices, asserting that oil flow from the Strait of Hormuz is now higher than it was seven months prior. According to Trump, gas prices are “much lower” compared to the tenure of his Democratic predecessors.
The president targeted Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who criticized the costs of the war, highlighting that Khanna complained about $25 billion spent on Iran. Trump countered that the U.S. has earned nearly ten times that amount in Venezuela, following the ousting of President Nicolás Maduro in January, which allowed the U.S. to take control of the Venezuelan oil fields.
This rally marks another chapter in Trump’s ongoing campaign efforts as he seeks to solidify support among his base.
