Trump's claim: Peace will return to the Middle East with my return

The former President of the United States said in a statement that the situation had become very serious due to the escalation of tensions in West Asia, and claimed, "With my return to the White House, peace will return to this region."

Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview with Saudi Arabia's Al Arabiya channel, harshly criticized the administration of his rivals in the upcoming US presidential election, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, for their failure to prevent bloody conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, AP reported.

The former US president, who claimed that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine would not have started if he were president, said, "Vladimir Putin has no respect for Biden and his vice president Harris."

Trump continued to highlight Yemeni armed forces' operations in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait in support of the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip, saying, "The Houthis' (Ansarullah) attacks in the Red Sea are very bad, and we must prevent the targeting of ships."

Trump, who also claimed to have destroyed the ISIS terrorist organization during his presidency, said, "If we do not fight terrorism, ISIS will return."

Trump also drew attention to the martyrdom of the Hamas movement's political bureau chief Yahya Sinwar and Lebanese Hezbollah's secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, saying that this war had left great destruction in the Middle East, and put forward the statement, "Nobody wants to see massacres in the Middle East."

Trump said of the Iranian people, "I have special respect for the country and the people of Iran, and Iranians are good and intelligent people."
