British newspaper The Guardian has received a copy of a new book shedding light on former US President Donald Trump’s stay in the White House, written by journalist Peter Baker, a columnist for The New York Times, and his wife, journalist Susan Glaser. who both work for The New York Times and The New Yorker.

In this context, The Guardian correspondent Martin Bingley explained that “the book presents Trump’s policy towards Iran, from indecisive talk of a nuclear deal signed under Barack Obama to America’s withdrawal from it in 2018. And what happened in June 2019 when he agreed that Trump ordered air strikes but canceled them at the last minute.”

And then it turned out that the Fox News host was among those who advised Trump at one time not to strike Iranian targets, the newspaper writes. The writer said, citing the book, that Trump told his friends in January 2020 that he feared he would be killed by Iran in retaliation for the assassination of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, who was killed. American drone.

The Guardian pointed out that Trump initially boasted during a campaign rally in Ohio that he had made the decision to raid Soleimani near the Baghdad airport on January 3, 2020. But according to Baker and Glaser’s book, Trump wasn’t “perfectly optimistic” less than a year after the strike, at least not privately.

The Guardian mentioned the words of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Khamenei, when he tweeted threateningly: “Those who ordered the assassination of General Soleimani must be punished, as well as those who carried it out. This revenge will definitely happen at the right time.”

The Guardian correspondent confirmed, citing the book, that “Trump and his team wanted to strike again on Iran, but reversed their decision due to the approaching end of the presidential term.” During a cocktail party, Trump told several of his friends in Florida that he feared Iran would try to kill him, so he had to return to Washington where he would be safer, the book says.
