Speaking in Las Vegas, Nevada, Trump claimed the US had been preparing to launch what he described as “the biggest attack since World War II” before Iranian officials asked for negotiations. “We were all set for the biggest attack since World War II, and they [the Iranians] called me and said, ‘Please don’t do it. Let’s talk,’” he said.
