(Israel Hayom) Nikki Haley - The U.S. actions in Iran were important for America. We've watched the Iranian regime say for years, "Death to America." We know the Iranians were enriching uranium; we know that, based on the materials that they had, they had the ability to develop multiple bombs. They were becoming an increasingly stronger threat through the use of their proxies. It was important for President Trump to do this to protect Americans from any future threats from Iran. Those in America should understand that those strikes were a move to keep Americans safer. That was a move to take out one of the threats that Iran has used against Americans for years. You have to believe terrorists when they tell you something. When Iran continued to say, "Death to America," they meant it. For us to think that more talks would have changed things is naive. We said, "We're done talking, we gave you the opportunity, you didn't take it, now it's time for us to take action on our own to protect Americans and protect Israelis." That was the right thing to do. If Trump had not followed up with these strikes, we would be dealing with Iran and their nuclear threats for years to come.
